Kuaishou Technology chief executive officer Su Hua became the latest founder to step back from a Chinese tech firm after a yearlong campaign by Beijing to rein in excesses in the industry.
Su, 39, will remain chairman of Kuaishou to focus on long-term strategy and new initiatives, the short-video giant said in a statement late Friday. Fellow co-founder Cheng Yixiao will take over as CEO to lead day-to-day operations and business development. Shares of Kuaishou tumbled as much as 5.1% on Monday after the announcement.
