This episode is going a little retrospective. I take a look back on uber’s journey to China in the view of a normal user. How Uber became one of the most successful foreign startups in China? How it fought with the local giant opponents and why it just left China afterwards? What is circumstance of China’s ride-sharing market after Uber’s withdrawal? You will find the answers in the feature story. Besides, I also talk about an unexpected new player in China’s ride-sharing market, and Victoria’s Secret’s first ever flagship store in China.
