Bigwigs at 'China's Uber' Didi and Lenovo have retreated from the social media platform Weibo, joining other Chinese tech moguls who are hiding from public view

Two more top executives at some of China's largest tech companies have stopped using the platform. They are the latest in a list of Chinese tech moguls who have stopped using social media.

During the recent five-day Labor Day holiday in China, Jean Liu, president of Didi Chuxing, set posts on her Weibo account that are more than six months old as private. Her father did the same thing.

Their accounts are empty because they have not posted anything in the past six months.

The accounts are still active. Her father has almost one million followers on his account.

According to a report from Financial Times, the youngerLiu, a former Goldman Sachs executive who was often seen as Didi's public ambassador, used Weibo to address users' complaints and comments about the company.

Users were quick to assume that theLius went private to avoid scrutiny of the tech sector in Beijing.

It is best to take down your flags and quiet your drums at this time. When you are quiet, all will be well, according to a self-penned poem titled "Why?" written by Jean andLiu.

Didi and Lenovo did not respond to Insider's requests for comment.

China's tech founders and CEOs have been outspoken on social media platforms in the past. 573 million users use Weibo every month, and many relied on it to interact with their followers.

Many of China's tech bigwigs have retreated from the public spotlight after the government cracked down on technology.

The founder of TikTok, Zhang Yiming, and the founder of the food delivery app, Wang Xing, have set their accounts private on Weibo. Jack Ma last used the platform in October 2020.

Didi is facing regulatory scrutiny from China and the US.

The ride hailing app Didi has come under fire for its listing in New York. Didi was supposed to delay its listing until Chinese regulators reviewed its data practices. Didi went ahead and listed in June, drawing the ire of Beijing.

Didi decided in December to list in Hong Kong instead of the New York Stock Exchange after months of pressure from the Chinese government. The decision will be put to a vote by shareholders later this month.

Didi revealed this week that it is facing additional pressure from the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
