BEIJING: Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi Chuxing said it would halt most late-night ride services for a week as it tries to reassure the public following the rape and murder of a passenger.
The company has been slammed by passengers and regulators, including China’s transport ministry, after a 20-year-old passenger was raped and murdered by her driver in the eastern city of Wenzhou last month, the second such killing this year.
