Ride-hailing overhaul forces stronger safety commitment

The sector has been ordered to introduce new measures to ensure passengers are protected. Wang Keju reports.

In March last year, Huang Jieli, then general manager of the hitch service department of Didi Chuxing, China's largest ride-hailing company, was invited to a wedding.

One of the company's registered drivers in Guangzhou, in the southern province of Guangdong, was marrying a woman he had met when she was his passenger.
