It was a South East Asia deal.

Without China (sold to Didi) and SEA, there's not too much of Asia where Uber still exists. In Japan they do. No UberX there, but Uber Eats look like they might be doing okay there. They are (including UberX) still in Taiwan.

I used Uber in Hong Kong.

Ahh yep, they're still in HK as well. South Korea too.

Neither HK or Korea are part of SEA.

Correct, although the context on why that is relevant is missing?

The context is that the deal was for SEA. The deal didn’t include he rest of Asia. I was stating that it exists in HK, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, because these countries are not part of SEA.

Hong Kong isn't part of SEA.
