BEIJING, July 9 - China's cyberspace administration on Friday said it would remove 25 mobile apps operated by Didi Global IncThe apps in question used data that was illegally collected by Didi and include those for its delivery service, camera device and finance services, the Cyberspace Administration of China said in a statement.
Last week, just days after Didi's $4.4 billion listing on the New York Stock Exchange, the cyberspace regulator ordered app stores to remove Didi's main ride-hailing app., citing national security and the public interest. Didi shares trimmed gains to around 4% after the latest announcement on Friday, having earlier been trading up more than 9%.in three sessions this week on fears of a fallout from China's increased scrutiny on domestic technology companies and firms listed overseas.
