They have android app marketplaces from Tencent, Xiaomi, Huawei and Baidu, which together have almost 70% of the app market, with the remaining 30% going to. Google exited China when they couldn't compete with local companies. When/if Google Playstore becomes available, it will have little impact. The only difference for an android phone in China is that it's shipped with for instance MyApp instead of Playstore. You still have an app storefront, even if it isn't Google's. |
Do you have a source? It seems kinda unintuitive for google to exit just because there is competition. I mean that's how Android started in the first place. From the stuff I have skimmed there are other reasons for google not being very present on the Chinese market.
It's more likely that 3rd party stores became popular because Google wasn't there.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
