DPP lawmaker Tsai Yi-yu called on the government Wednesday to ensure that a Chinese ride-sharing app follows local laws in Taiwan.

Didi Chuxing, the biggest ride-sharing service in China, has begun a trial run of its service in Taiwan through a local tech company. Tsai said that the government should make sure there is no illegal capital involved in its Taiwan operations.

He also said that the company should strictly obey the Act Governing Relations between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area, and the Measures Governing Investment Permit to the People of the Mainland Area.

The transportation ministry responded by saying the service is free so far, and is operating within the law. The company representing Didi also says there is no Chinese capital involved in the operation.     [FULL  STORY]
