Description

Alibaba's Amap is challenging Meituan's dominance with its new Street Stars feature, using AI to recommend restaurants, hotels, and attractions to its 170 million daily users. Backed by a $140 million subsidy, Amap aims to become a comprehensive lifestyle platform, but faces fierce competition and regulatory scrutiny amid an ongoing battle for market share in China's instant retail sector. Will Amap become China's next go-to lifestyle app, or just fuel a costly tech war?
