UPDATE 1-China regulator demands security reviews for firms with data on over 1 mln users before overseas listing
(Adds detail)
SHANGHAI, July 10 (Reuters) - China's cyberspace regulator said on Saturday any company with data for more than 1 million users must undergo a security review before listing its shares overseas.
The security review will put a focus on risks of data being affected, controlled or manipulated by foreign governments after overseas listings, said the Cyberspace Administration of China.
The notice comes after Chinese authorities launched a probe of ride-hailing giant Didi Global Inc for allegedly violating user privacy, days following its listing in New York.
