Ride-hailing app Uber is the giant among start-ups. But the company`s global ambitions have stalled in China, as both a well-funded competitor and government protectionism may relegate it to minor player status. Its chief Chinese rival is Didi Kuaidi. Uber created a separate, Chinese company, partnered with local investors like the Chinese tech giant Baidu, and launched in 2013 in the country`s largest city, Shanghai. After burning through billions of dollars in a market-share battle, Uber technologies Inc. sold Uber China to Didi in exchange for a 20% stake in the rival. Even though government protectionism may be somewhat to blame, Uber certainly made many unforced errors along the way.
inly Chinese was a very good idea since it brought huge result to CTs.
The timeframe also had significant effect on the success and failure of both conflicts. Since Malaya Government had been co-operation with British Military Administration which lead to a successful in signing the peace between communist Thailand and Malaya in 1989. Although in Malaya television could not show the horrors of war during that time, but through the story from people to another we knew that the Malaya had establish a campaign to the citizen about the violence of the Communist towards Malaya citizen especially in isolated area. For example, Sir Robert Thompson offers six essential principles for how to succeed in counterinsurgency warfare. First, the government must have clear political aims, such as a free, stable, united country. Second, the government must function in accordance with the law. Only by doing so can the government preserve its legitimacy in the eyes of the people. Third, the government must have an overall plan for coordinating civil and military efforts. Fourth, the priority should be to defeat political subversion, not the guerillas themselves. Fifth, after military operations have been conducted in a specific area, civic action programs must be initiated. Finally, the government must have already secured its base areas first and by working outwards from their secure areas, government forces are more likely to have some morale-boosting successes early on. From this example we can surely know that this timeframe had led to the successful of the counterinsurgency in Malaya. While in Vietnam, historical tells us that United states eventually lost their war through lack of national support. This is because the Government Vietnam and United State army only focuses on the first layer in the devising their strategic Hamlet program as mention pervious point. The plan and strategy were dawn very neat with full of preparations, but when it comes to execution the whole thing became waste. The sensitivity to the citizen does not given priority as the program conduct. They execute the plan without taking into consideration to the population of the Vietnam’s. thus this kind of time frame are one of the reason that led to the failure of both conflicts.
