Didi has announced a CNY2 billion (USD275 million) investment plan aimed at stabilizing employment and boosting consumption in China. The ride-hailing company will allocate CNY1 billion this year to support new driver groups in key export regions, alongside another CNY1 billion in passenger subsidies. Meanwhile, Meituan, a major player in the food and beverage sector, plans to invest CNY100 billion (approximately USD14 billion) over the next three years to subsidize merchants. This investment is part of Meituan's broader strategy, which also includes the launch of a 24/7 shopping service featuring 30-minute delivery options.
