It can go beyond just simple incentives as well. Uber was effectively driven out of China by the government 'picking' Didi. They wanted to reduce the size of their military but didn't want unemployed soldiers and transitioned literally millions of them into Didi drivers. You can't compete with that.

I also read somewhere where uber drivers were "given tickets" while local law enforcement turned a blind eye to didis. Definitely hard to compete.

It's funny, Chinese ride sharing companies enjoy this exact same advantage in Vancouver Canada. We remain a staunch ally.

What reading would you recommend about Chinese ride sharing companies in Canada?

And is it Vancouver or Canada that is the ally?
