Ride-hailing company Uber will put its services in the Chinese gambling mecca of Macau on hold, following a lengthy dispute with local regulators. Uber faced a similar scenario in Taiwan, where it entered into a partnership with licensed rental car companies in order to trade. The move comes as China is trying to expand its online gaming industry, which has been growing rapidly over recent years. Uber aborted previous plans to exit the market last September, and even today it has left the door open to an eventual return to business. The US firm has encountered many difficulties across Asia, most notably selling its Chinese business to rival Didi Chuxing.
