Quick Summary:

The meal delivery giant joins a slew of Chinese tech giants vying for new growth in Hong Kong.

It takes an average of 15 to 20 minutes for drones to deliver a meal, about half the time needed for manual deliveries, the public affairs head of Meituan’s drone division Yan Yan told local newspaper Hong Kong Commercial Daily.
