Extended data:

There are four difficulties in the anti-monopoly investigation of Didi Uber merger case, which not only challenges many conventions, but also has many technical obstacles.

The first is the analysis of VIE architecture. In practice, many foreign investors use VIE structure to enter industries where foreign investment is restricted or prohibited in China, and some domestic companies often use VIE structure to go public overseas.

The second is the definition of relevant markets. The so-called relevant market is the market involved in anti-monopoly cases. In all anti-monopoly cases, including centralized review of operators, defining the relevant market is usually the first step of analysis. It is generally believed that the follow-up discussion is meaningful only if the relevant market is clear. But in reality, it is very difficult to define the relevant market.

The third is the determination of market power. Due to the platform nature of Didi, its market share is difficult to calculate and the impact of its data is difficult to estimate.
