Beijing takes down Didi app 05.07.2021

One week after its IPO on Wall Street, Chinese ride-hailing Didi becomes the target of another Beijing crackdown. The government is investigating the company — and two others — for mishandling customers' data.

--FILE--A mobile phone user uses the taxi booking app Didi on his smartphone in Beijing, China, 25 April 2013. Taxi app Didi Dache (or Didi in short) reportedly is raising a Series C round of funding that will be up to $100 million. Investors include Citic and Tencent. Tencent has already contributed $15 million to the company in the last round. No wonder the app will be integrated into WeChat. WeChat users, as reported, wont need to download Didi app for booking taxis and will be able to make payments with WeChat Payment. Didi has been integrated into the latest version of Tencent Maps. Didi has stood out from a crowd of taxi apps in China thanks to the backing from investors especially Tencent. Didis major competitor now is Kuaidi who is venture backed by Alibaba. Likewise, Kuaidi users can make payments with Alipay, the digital payment service of Alibaba Group. Kuaidi announced to acquire the fourth largest taxi app Dahuangfeng in China last month, saying Alibaba would inject more funding into it. |
