UberChina-Didi Fight Drives Merger Talk.  
China is a big market. But is it big enough for two major ride-hailing companies? The battle between Uber Technologies' China affiliate and Chinese homegrown champion Didi Chuxing Technology has been so bruising that some investors in the companies increasingly say the answer is no. 
Read Uber-Didi in the Wall Street Journal.

The ride-hailing industry's relentless march continued today as Didi Chuxing, Uber's main rival in China, raised $7 billion in new funding, adding to the $1 billion from Apple. Read $7B in the WSJ.

From the highly acquisitive Chinese companies driving the M&A market to the growing number of private startups that could shape future IPOs, every dealmaker on Wall Street is scrambling to "get in on China."
Read how China Renaissance CEO and founder Fan Bao got in on the $1.78 billion listing of JD.com, the $286 million IPO of microblogging app Weibo, and the merger of China's ride-hailing rivals Didi Dache and Kuaidi Dache.
