As global concerns mount about security risks involved with Chinese tech companies, two Dutch cities have discovered that user data from their bicycle-sharing programs—operated by a Chinese firm—is being transferred to China and Singapore.
Mobike, based in Beijing, is the world’s largest for-hire, dockless bike-share operator. Mobike has a presence in the Netherlands, known throughout Europe for its bike-friendly reputation. The Chinese firm operates the silver-and-orange Mobikes found throughout Rotterdam and Delft.
