Didi President Says China’s Ride-Hailing Giant Is ‘Definitely Going Global’

Uber’s new ally in China may become a competitor in other countries.

Didi Chuxing, the Chinese ride-hailing company that allied itself with Uber Technologies Inc. this year, said it plans to expand to other countries.

"We’re definitely going global," Jean Liu, Didi's president, said on stage at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit in San Francisco. "We’re a big sponsor and a big believer in local players. If there are no existing local players, we’ll go there by ourselves. We will play a global game."
