Yesterday, it was announced that the Chinese government was ending its cybersecurity probe as well as preparing, to lift the ban on adding new users. The Chinese regulators are planning to bring back all 26 apps of the company that were banned in July last year due to national security issues.
Alongside Didi Global, Chinese logistics company Full Truck Alliance Co. & online recruitment firm Kanzhun Ltd. will also be allowed to add new customers. Both these firms were facing similar cybersecurity reviews at the same time as Didi global. People with knowledge of the matter say that the removal of the ban could come as early as this week.
