Hong Kong's taxi industry has cancelled a planned strike by 1,000 drivers after the government promised to take stronger action against illegal ride-hailing services. The strike was called off temporarily following the government's offer. The taxi industry was unhappy with the government's inaction against app-based services like Uber and a proposed demerit-point system to penalise drivers for misconduct. The industry's difficulties have not garnered much public sympathy.
