(Yicai Global) Jan. 23 -- Didi Chuxing, China's leading online ride-hailing platform, announced today on China's Twitter-like Weibo that it has suspended cross-city services and its car-pooling business in Wuhan to avert further spread of the novel coronavirus-caused pneumonia.

The platform will keep running its hailing service downtown and do its best to provide masks and disinfectant to all drivers, Didi added.
