I have a hard time not seeing Tencent investing in Uber as a more abstract version of lighting your cigar with a hundred dollar bill, but yes, knowing where people are going could be useful to Chinese intelligence. I guess it wouldn't surprise me if the military/state department/intelligence agencies started offering ride services. Flipkart looks like just business to me though, though it wouldn't surprise me if you knew something I don't.
