Is Android the only alternative in China? Can Google monetize the Chinese users at all? Must very frustrating to have 1/4 of the worlds population using your OS behind a firewall.
In China the OS almost doesn't matter as everything is WeChat. Apple certainly makes money, but everything Google would want to earn goes to Tencent, I assume Android in China is AOSP…
that's not really truth, it's pretty much useless for gamers and there are Penney of popular apps outside WeChat
for messaging and social plus payments (though Alipay it's significant but smaller competitor), sure pretty much zero competition, but for streaming video, music, games etc. no way...
