The biggest winner in this whole thing is Apple. How is Google going to compete in mobile hardware if it is unable to make deals with Chinese companies? I don't think they fully thought through the extent to which their supply chain (and that of their partners) depends on China. What if China takes a page from the US government's playbook and starts arbitrarily classifying software as "munitions", with Android first in the crosshairs? A simple thing that would suddenly make this "free" operating system totally uncompetitive. Mobile partners of Google are already leery about being undercut by Google's own phones on the one hand and sued by Apple on the other. Getting the Chinese government on their bad side would absolutely be a dealbreaker.
