Overview
Professional record
Wang Xing runs one of the densest operating systems in consumer commerce: a platform connecting demand, merchants, couriers, mapping, payments and time-sensitive fulfilment across China. During the 2025–26 window, Meituan expanded the scope of instant retail and committed more heavily to overseas delivery through Keeta. The choices were consequential rather than comfortable. Competition compressed near-term economics and intensified scrutiny of platform labour, merchant terms and market conduct. Wang is included because the decisions changed how local commerce is financed, delivered and contested at enormous scale—not because every consequence was favourable. The test ahead is whether that reach can be converted into durable value without transferring an unacceptable share of the cost to workers, merchants or investors.
