Uber CEO and founder Travis Kalanick said today that China now accounts for 30 percent of all Uber rides around the world – a close second behind the US market.
Kalanick was being interviewed onstage at WSJD Live in California. After explaining that Uber was too young as a company to consider prepping an IPO, the conversation turned towards China.
