There’s a team of 50 engineers at Uber headquarters in San Francisco that focuses on fraud detection, as well as local manual review teams in each Chinese city. “You can go out, spend a bunch of money in a city and gain some market share, but that’s not real,” says Penn, Uber’s Asia business head. Name recognition is no longer a problem. “Though we do become profitable from time to time, we have to make conscious decisions, even in mature markets, to go unprofitable to protect market share,” says one Uber executive. The company’s name is based on the commonly used word ‘Nonetheless, the company continues to grow and has become mainstream despite all the criticism and negative reviews. It would set up a separate Chinese entity, Uber China, which would court local investors as well as getting financial support from the global Uber business, which holds a large undisclosed stake in the subsidiary. Largest Ride Sharing Technology: Uber has positioned itself as the largest ride-sharing technology in the world.It was one of the first ride-sharing apps, operating across the globe. “The most important limit is the return on investment,” he muses. The State Council, China’s cabinet, asked the ministry of transport to revise the regulations, sparking a debate that is still going on. “The reality is that subsidies are used to compensate for an inferior user and driver experience,” he says, without mentioning Uber by name. Gridlock and pollution are the result – problems that Uber proposes to help solve. “It was pretty far-flung for us to try at that time – but that was also what made it exciting.” Uber decided on a China strategy that was unlike anything it had tried elsewhere. However, few analysts expect that Uber’s foreign roots will mean it faces special barriers. Last year, Kalanick spent nearly one in five days in China. You certainly don’t want to spend more than it is worth.” With no net revenues and no profits, Uber China’s worth is hard to assess. One immediate result of the merger in 2015 was that Didi and Kuaidi started spending less on taxi subsidies, and instead took aim at the private car-hailing market. Smaller ride-hailing companies in other markets, such as EasyTaxi in Jakarta, found that their business dried up completely when subsidies ended. After China’s decades of economic reform, embracing the sharing economy is a small step in the broader transformation to a market economy, says Liu Yuanju, a Shanghai-based economist. The transportation company had more than 40 million active monthly users in more than 760 cities internationally in the year 2016. Taxi ranks have failed to keep pace with economic growth, making it hard to find a cab in certain cities. The subsidies were so generous that sophisticated scammers developed software to exploit them. Uber managers spend hours each week checking driver logs for fraud patterns and deciding which drivers to deactivate. Unlike in other countries, Uber China is a separate entity with plans for an independent IPO, and it does its own fundraising in addition to getting cash from Uber Global. Didi is “quite profitable” in cities where competitors’ subsidy practices are less aggressive, says Stephen Zhu, vice-president of Didi. Even outside China, Didi has become a formidable enemy for Uber by forming an alliance with several competitors, including Lyft in the US, Ola in India and Grab in Southeast Asia. Uber has created a that helps customers rate their traveling experience as well as the driver. Kalanick, however, defines success in China as being number one – and he doesn’t give up easily. The Uber brand will be retained, but Didi would “integrate the managerial and technological experience and expertise of the two teams.” Uber reportedly lost $2 billion trying to make inroads in China. Given Uber’s deep reserves of cash, it can afford to keep investing. How much Uber will keep spending in China to fight for that market share is a key question. “Why did Apple succeed [in China]? Cutting subsidies is particularly hard for a company that, like Uber China, is not the market leader.
