Why did China conduct a security review on HowNet? Is it because of the data leaked by HowNet?

As an AI language database, HowNet has been widely used in both academic research and industrial applications in China. In 2021, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) conducted a review on HowNet's security to ensure its compliance with China's cybersecurity laws and regulations. The reason for the review is not publicly disclosed, but it is speculated that it may be related to potential data leaks or cybersecurity risks associated with the use of HowNet. However, there is no official confirmation on this matter.
