Didi Removed From WeChat And Alipay Apps As China Crackdown Intensifies

More pain for Didi’s main app that’s now been removed from WeChat messaging service and Ant Group’s Alipay

Wechat and Alipay which have over 1 billion users are so called super-apps, meaning users can open and use other apps, like Didi, without leaving Alipay or WeChat.

In another blow to the Chinese ride-hailing company, the Didi Service has been removed from this too

Shares of the company have since dipped 20 percent.

Didi takes $22 billion hit in market value following China’s stern stance

Chinese-based ridesharing company Didi has plunged in premarket trading after a Chinese regulator ordered the removal of the company’s platform from app stores.

The stern stance comes days after a $4.4 billion initial public offering in the U.S.

Shares of the tech firm fell as much as 30% – wiping out around $22 billion of market value and taking the stock below the $14 IPO price.

Didi responded to the crackdown and stated that its business model would ‘greatly suffer’

While Didi’s half-billion existing users will still be able to order rides, for now, China’s cybersecurity crackdown adds to the uncertainty surrounding all the nation’s internet companies.

Chinese regulators asked Didi as early as three months ago to delay its landmark U.S. IPO because of national security concerns involving its huge trove of data, according to people familiar with the matter.

Nasdaq drops 1.84% amid turbulent week; investors pivot to cyclical and value sectors from high-growth tech.

U.S. equity markets wrapped up a turbulent week with mixed results. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.84%, marking its worst week for large-cap technology stocks since November, while the S&P 500 remained largely unchanged. Investors are weighing concerns about artificial intelligence and potential overinvestment in high-growth areas.

Meanwhile, smaller-cap and value-oriented stocks continued to add to their year-to-date gains. Market participants rotated into cyclical sectors that had lagged, reflecting a shift in investor sentiment and appetite for risk outside the traditional tech heavyweights.

Analysts say this rotation highlights the broader market’s evolving dynamics, as growth concerns collide with opportunities in underappreciated areas. Stay tuned for further developments as the market digests these trends.
