Apple invests $1 billion in Chinese ride-hailing service Didi Chuxing

(Reuters) — Apple Inc AAPL.O said on Thursday it has invested $1 billion in Chinese ride-hailing service Didi Chuxing, a move that Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said would help the company better understand the critical Chinese market.

The tech giant’s rare investment gives it a stake in two burgeoning waves of technology — the sharing economy and car technology — as the iPhone business that propelled it to record profitability shows signs of maturing.

Apple is trying to reinvigorate sales in China, where it has come under greater pressure from regulators, and Cook is traveling to the country this month.

The move aligns Apple with Uber Technologies Inc’s chief rival in China, as automakers and technology companies forge new alliances and make cross investments. General Motors GM.N , for example, recently bought autonomous driving technology company Cruise Automation and has also taken a stake in U.S. ride-sharing company Lyft.

Cook said in an interview that he saw opportunities for Apple and Didi Chuxing to collaborate in the future.

“We are making the investment for a number of strategic reasons, including a chance to learn more about certain segments of the China market,” he said. “Of course, we believe it will deliver a strong return for our invested capital over time as well.”

Didi Chuxing, formerly known as Didi Kuaidi, said in a statement that this was the single largest investment it has ever received. The company, which previously raised several billion dollars, dominates the ride-sharing market in China. The company said it completes more than 11 million rides a day, with more than 87 percent of the market for private car-hailing in China.

Though Didi Chuxing is valued at upwards of $20 billion, according to a person familiar with its ongoing funding round, the company has been losing billions in a costly battle with Uber for market share in China.

“CONFIDENCE IN CHINA”

Analysts say the deal offers a glimpse of how Apple may diversify its business as sales of the iPhone level off. Apple has emphasized its burgeoning revenue from services such as Apple Music and mobile payment Apple Pay, a strategy that the ride-sharing investment appears to reinforce, said analyst Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy.

“After all the hints about the service business and what they would like to do in the future, it’s all starting to fit together,” he said.

Investors are eagerly watching to see whether Apple will enter the automotive business. Apple has hired a wide range of automotive experts, and the company is exploring building a self-driving car, sources have told Reuters.

Cook said Apple remained focused on the in-car experience with its CarPlay system, which links smartphones to vehicle infotainment systems.

“That is what we do today in the car business, so we will have to see what the future holds,” he said.

Although Apple’s sales in China have slumped amid slowing economic growth there, Cook stressed he remained confident in the market.

“(The deal) reflects our excitement about their growing business . and also our continued confidence in the long term in China’s economy,” Cook said.

Apple has enjoyed warmer relations with the Chinese government than some American tech companies, but regulators recently shut down its online book and film services, triggering concerns among investors. The true value of Apple’s investment in Didi might be in shoring up that relationship, said analyst Ben Bajarin of Creative Strategies.

“This is as much about sending signals about their seriousness in that country as it is about helping Didi build a ride-sharing platform,” he said.

Didi Chuxing is a poster child for Chinese technology, a critical sector in Beijing’s goal to shift the economy toward higher-value services.

Didi Chuxing executives have met with some of China’s top leaders, including President Xi Jinping last December.

Jean Liu, Didi’s president, is the daughter of Liu Chuanzhi, the politically connected founder of Chinese computer maker Lenovo Group Ltd 0992.HK .

“There’s a lot of things we can work on together,” she said when asked whether Didi Chuxing would help Apple’s government relations in China.

Trade war counter attack? China slams Apple with iPhone sale ban over ‘patent violations’

On the surface, the battle is between two major name tech companies, Apple and Qualcomm, who have been engaged in high-stakes legal battles over intellectual property for years. Qualcomm’s injunction claimed that Apple is violating two of its patents in technology used in the iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. The granted injunction, if enforced, would essentially ban these models from being sold in China where Apple captured nearly 25% of the market share at the end of last year.

«Apple continues to benefit from our intellectual property while refusing to compensate us,» said Don Rosenberg, the general counsel of Qualcomm. An opinion the Chinese courts surprisingly agreed with.

Such injunctions are very rarely granted, which has led to suspicion that the courts have had other motives than property rights in reaching the decision, namely that they were using the conflict in order to strike the next blow in the ongoing trade war between China and the US. The situation itself is somewhat ironic, given that Donald Trump has used claims that Chinese tech companies steal intellectual property in order to justify his aggressive economic policies.

Apple prices may increase because of the massive Tariffs we may be imposing on China — but there is an easy solution where there would be ZERO tax, and indeed a tax incentive. Make your products in the United States instead of China. Start building new plants now. Exciting! #MAGA

Despite that Trump and Xi ostensibly reached a 90-day ceasefire in the multi-billion dollar trade war which has been raging between the two countries since the beginning of the year, the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou sent a message to Beijing that America was not yet ready to pause the conflict. Given the background of the conflict, it seems likely that China’s decision was influenced by the diplomatic fallout, and can be understood as a counter-attack on the high-profile American company.

The decision, aside from being suspiciously timed, comes at the same time numerous tech companies in China are offering incentives for employees to use Huawei products, or banning Apple outright.

The Chinese court’s ruling was announced on Monday and allegedly put into effect last week, but Apple denies that claims, saying that all iPhone models still remain available as the ban only affects phones operating on older versions of iOS.

«If Apple is violating the orders, Qualcomm will seek enforcement of the orders through enforcement tribunals that are part of the Chinese court system,» Rosenberg responded in a statement.

Although Apple says it will file an appeal, the fact that the lawsuit concerns software on the phones rather than hardware built into the phones themselves gives them multiple options for working around the ban. The decision, regardless of its practical effect, may play a role in escalating the trade conflict between China and the US, with Donald Trump threatening to impose tariffs on virtually all Chinese goods if the two sides cannot come to an agreement by the end of the 90-day “truce”.

Apple in Legal Battle Over iPad Name in China

Apple sold over fifteen million iPads just in the final three months of twenty-eleven. Now the popular tablet computer is in its third generation. But as Apple prepared to launch a new iPad on March seventh, it faced legal challenges in China over rights to the name of the device. A court in Guangdong province heard a case brought by the Chinese company Proview Technology. Proview is based in Shenzhen, in southern China, and belongs to Proview International Holdings. The company says it holds the legal rights to the iPad name in China. Apple says it bought the iPad trademark in China and nine other countries from a business owned by Proview in two thousand nine. A lawyer for Proview said he believes Apple has not provided new evidence for the case in Guangdong. Apple was appealing a decision by a lower court, which found that the company did not own the iPad name. Another lawyer for Proview said the legal issue over the trademark was clear. He said his company is fighting Apple over the idea of ownership. He also said Proview was willing to settle with Apple for the right amount of money. Proview says it holds the trademark for the name of a device called an Internet Personal Access Device, or IPAD. The device looks like a desktop computer. Proview says it sold about twenty thousand of them over about ten years. It says it received the trademark or legal rights to the name in two thousand one. Proview is in financial trouble. It has reported losses since two thousand eight and dismissed thousands of workers. Apple’s legal team says that Proview is nearing failure. Apple says Proview has no product, no buyers and no suppliers. Apple argues that a ruling against Apple would harm the interests of consumers in China. Apple’s holds seventy-six percent of the tablet computer market in that country with its iPad. A final decision by the high court in Guangdong is expected to take weeks. The trademark issue has not hurt Apple’s stock price, at least so far. Apple has become the most valuable publicly traded stock in the world, worth about five hundred billion dollars.
