SHANGHAI, Jan 21 (Reuters) - China's transport ministry on
Friday summoned four cargo service platforms including Didi
Freight, the cargo division of Didi Chuxing  DIDI.N , and
Huolala over "operational irregularities", according to an
announcement from the ministry.
    It said it told them to make rectifications as there had
been concerns over how they had increased membership fees and
also engaged in cut-price competition. 
    The ministry also said it issued "reminders" to four
ride-hailing firms including Didi Chuxing, Geely's  GEELY.UL 
Caocao Mobility and Meituan  3690.HK  over protecting the rights
of ride-hailing drivers and ensuring stable operations over the
upcoming Lunar New Year holiday.
