>Apple and Google won (Google only outside China, of course) Could someone explain this? My understanding was few in China used an iPhone and Android is extremely popular? Is that now out of date given Apple's recent pushes into the Chinese market?

iPhones are actually pretty popular in China, broadly comparable to their market share elsewhere (I don't have numbers). But while Android dominates, it's not "Google" Android. The phones don't ship the GMS app suite and don't integrate with the Google services stack.

iPhones are crazy popular in China. When I was there, it seemed half the people had iPhones. (I know the real stats disagree, that's just what I observed.)

OP said Google hasn't won in China. Not Android. Google doesn't benefit at all as far as I can see if the Android being used lacks Google apps and integration.
