A nationwide inspection targeting ride-hailing companies has kicked off with a check into Didi Chuxing, which has seen two female passengers killed by drivers of the company's hitch service since May.
A team of inspectors from 10 ministries, including the Ministry of Transport and the Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission, aims to find out whether the company has seriously addressed its safety problems and whether it is ready to provide data as required, the ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
The inspection aims to strengthen consumer safety measures for internet-based car-hailing and ride-sharing companies, and is expected to last half a month, the statement said.
