Reuters exclusively reports China’s Didi in talks with state-backed Westone to hand over data control

Reuters reported exclusively that Chinese ride-hailing firm Didi Global Inc is in talks with state-owned information security firm Westone to handle its data management and monitoring activities as part of its efforts to placate domestic regulators. The largest Chinese ride-hailing group became the target of an investigation by regulators in the country just days after it raised $4.4 billion in an initial public offering in the United States.
