Most people, especially in the west, aren’t reading Chinese 5 year plans very closely.

What part of the 5 year plan outlined the strategy behind why the CCP went after DIDI? I'm genuinely curious and it might be more useful to link to the relevant parts. Some people might actually be interested in reading those and better understanding this.

Didi doesn't have a monopoly in China. Meituan is also a large player in the space along with hundreds of tiny ones.

Meituan has only just entered the market. Where did you get your information from?

Didi was caught selling user data without prior consent.

Think if Equifax got pulled for "leaking" user data

For what it's worth those 5-years plans used to get changed regularly, at least when my country, Romania, was doing them. For those that can read Romanian I recommend this book [1] about the 5-year plans from the 1970s Socialist Romania.
