I believe that Didi is banned because they did not freely offer the user data to the Chinese government. They're making a strong statement that if a company collects user data, all your collected data "belong to us".
It seems that the chinese government is gunning for chinese companies that are trying to get funding from outside china in open markets. I don't understand the motivation, is this just a way to keep control, as, as far as I know, all this companies are partially owned by the government, or are they afraid that having companies listed in international markets will force them to disclose information about internal operation (financial or otherwise) that the Party doesn't want?

The Americans are much more subtle about their mass surveillance.
That is because the CCP is interested in mass intimidation more than mass surveillance. They want the public to know they are being monitored, so that fear will keep them in line.
When you walk through a city in China, you will see a camera on every block. There is no attempt at all to hide them. They want you to know you're being watched.

That sounds like a clunky system, especially because it forewarns the perspective victims of the espionage.
Yes, but the assumption should be that the CCP is spying on everyone with every approved app.
