Mainland China Re-examines Mobile Apps and Bans New User Registration; The Global Times: US-listed Science and Technology Enterprises Need Stricter Supervision

China Cyber Security Review Office announced on 5th July that due to the risk of national security and public benefits, they are reviewing the network safety to “Full Delivery”, “Truck Gang” and “Boss Appointment”. During the review period, those three apps will ban new registration. The announcement stated that it was based on the “National Security Law of the People’s Republic of China” and the “Network Security Law of the People’s Republic of China” to prevent risks from expanding. This action targets the Chinese technological enterprises listed in the United States after the mainland government requested “DiDi Travels" being delisted on 4th July.

The Internet Information Office also announced on 4th July that another mobile app “DiDi” has a serious violation of laws and regulations on collecting and using personal information.
