Liu Qing (Chinese: 柳青; pinyin: Liǔ Qīng, born 1978 in Beijing) or Jean Liu, is a Chinese business executive. Liu is the President of Didi Chuxing ("DiDi", formerly known as Didi Duache and Didi Kuaidi), China's largest mobile transportation platform.[1] She worked at Goldman Sachs Asia for 12 years, becoming a managing director in 2012, before switching to Didi Dache serving as its chief operating officer in July 2014.[2]

After joining Didi Dache, she led the strategic merger between Didi Dache and its main competitor Kuaidi Dache which then created the car hailing company named Didi Kuaidi (later rebranded as Didi Chuxing) in 2015.[3]

In 2017, Liu was included on the annual Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world.[4] She forced Uber out of the Chinese market when she, and Cheng Wei, got Uber to sell its China operation. [5]
