BEIJING, January 8 (TMTPOST) -- Chinese e-commerce giant Pinduoduo has suspended the plan to introduce local services, covering catering, hotels, and tourist attractions, on its group-buying platform Duoduo Maicai as scheduled next month, according to a company insider.
Duoduo Maicai, which continues to operate as normal, started the local offline business recruitment work in mid-December 2023 on the bulk-buy platform, but the recruitment stopped during the final week of 2023.
No explanations were given for the suspension and it is not known whether the project will be resumed.
