(Forbes) - China’s cybersecurity officials have launched investigations into three more apps operated by U.S.-listed companies, just one day after they ordered the country’s smartphone app stores to remove Didi Chuxing over the misuse of customers’ personal information. Chinese regulators are clamping down on the country’s tech companies through tighter regulations on data security.

The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said in a statement on Thursday that it had opened an investigation on Boss Zhipin, an online recruiting platform operated by Kanzhun. The Beijing-based firm, which claims to be the country’s largest online recruitment site, debuted on Nasdaq in mid-June after raising $912 million. The initial public offering turned its founder Zhao Peng into a billionaire.

Another recently minted billionaire in the CAC’s crosshairs is Zhang Hui, the founder and CEO of Full Truck Alliance. The CAC said it’s targeting the truck-hailing platforms Yunmanman and Huochebang, which merged to form Full Truck Alliance in 2017. The Guizhou-based company describes itself as one of the largest digital freight platforms in the world. Dubbed China’s “Uber for trucks,” the company raised $1.6 billion by listing its shares on the New York Stock Exchange on June 22.

China’s cyberspace regulator said the latest investigations are intended to “prevent risks regarding national data security, maintain national security and safeguard public interest,” citing the same reasons when it announced a probe on Didi Global last week. Officials had also ordered Yunmanman, Huochebang and Boss Zhipin to suspend new user registrations.

Full Truck Alliance has vowed to fully cooperate with the probe, according to the company’s statement on Twitter-like Weibo. Kanzhun did not immediately respond to the regulator’s statement.
