China Blocks Didi From App Stores Days After Mega U.S. IPO
China’s cyberspace regulator ordered app stores to remove Didi Chuxing, dealing a major blow to a ride-hailing giant that just days ago pulled off one of the largest U.S. initial public offerings of the past decade.
The Cyberspace Administration of China announced the ban Sunday, citing serious violations on Didi Global Inc.’s collection and usage of personal information, without elaborating. That unusually swift decision came two days after the regulator said it was starting a cybersecurity review of the company.

Is Australia’s involvement in the South China Sea conflict worth it?
No more warships. More passionate words. Australia appears to be on the path to a deadly confrontation with China in the South China Sea. Is it worth it?
President Xi addressed a crowd of 70,000 in Tiananmen Square on Thursday to kick off the Chinese Communist Party’s centenary celebrations.
It was a momentous occasion, a spectacular event.
He wasn’t in the mood to contradict himself.
Xi emphatically warned that international “bullies” would interfere “with their heads banging their heads against a great wall of steel forged by more than 1.4 billion Chinese.”

Canada’s Hong Kong diaspora helps new arrivals with jobs, housing, psychotherapy
Hong Kongers in Canada are banding together to help the latest wave of immigrants fleeing Beijing's tightening grip on their city.
Networks across the country, some descended from groups set up after China's crackdown on Tiananmen Square protesters in 1989, are offering new arrivals everything from jobs and accommodation to legal and mental health services and even car rides to the grocery store.
"We are in a battle. These are my comrades, people who share the same values," one 38-year-old who asked to be identified only as Ho told Reuters. "Who is going to provide that helping hand if I'm not going to?"
