BEIJING: Didi Global Inc says it has resumed new user registration for its ride-hailing app after the Beijing-based company was granted approval from China’s Cyberspace Security Review Office.

The move came after China sent positive signals in support of the development of platform companies after two years of healthy industry corrections in the sector.
