- chkuendig 12y agoAndroid in China is AOSP or 3rd Party forks, NOT google android. There are no google services in china, so it's definitely an easier stand to take for Google than for its competitors doing business there.
- TheDong 12y agoIt's the reverse; there are no Google services in China because they already took a stand. When the Chinese government demanded to be able to sniff all traffic, Google fought back, refused to play cozy enough with the government, and gave up its chance at a foothold.
