In brief: Beijing awards ride-hailing license to Didi rival

Meituan-Dianping has received a ride-hailing service permit in Beijing. The company attempted to roll out a service in China’s capital city last year, but it failed because it didn’t have a government license. The Beijing transportation bureau’s decision comes after Meituan said in September that it would cease expansion of its ride-hailing business.
