Meituan, which used to be called Meituan Dianping before a September 2020 name change, has risen to become China's third largest tech company. Starting off as a Groupon clone, Meituan has parlayed its success into a super-app on par with Tencent's WeChat.

In this video we are going to look at one of China’s newest and most ruthless tech giants.
