Reuters An obscure bureaucratic office in Beijing has emerged as one of the most feared government institutions for China s Big Tech as Beijing clamps down on what it sees as cybersecurity risks in the internet sector. The Cyber Security Review Office was created last year as a joint task force by 12 Chinese ministries, including the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of National Security, to look into cybersecurity risks. The state has a cybersecurity review requirement, and this office was created to get the job done, one Beijing-based regulatory source who has direct knowledge of the matter said. The office, under the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), had been out of public view for a year until last week when it dropped the bombshell that it was putting ride-hailing giant Didi Chuxing under review over possible data security and national security risks.
