Public policy formulation seen from car-hailing app controversy
ANBOUND
First-tier cities in China have introduced exceptionally strict regulations for car-hailing apps, and this has triggered controversies in the market and among the netizens. Anbound believes that the government, taxi companies, car-hailing companies and consumers are different interest groups, yet the government should be placed in the most central position. The greatest consideration shall be public interest; the elite institutions should explain clearly the policy principles and public interest protection; building on this foundation, related policies should be introduced to meet the public interest in the greatest degree.
