Ride-hailing giant Didi received approval to resume new user registration in China, it said Monday, providing more evidence that Beijing’s regulatory crackdown on tech giants might be coming to an end.
“For more than a year, our company has cooperated with the government’s cybersecurity review, seriously dealt with the security issues found in the review, and carried out a comprehensive rectification,” Didi said in a statement posted on its Weibo account.
With the approval of the Cybersecurity Review Office, Didi will be able to resume adding new users “immediately,” it added.
Last July, China’s cyberspace regulator fined Didi just over 8 billion yuan for violating cybersecurity and data laws.
