Are you forgetting WeChat? Because that's all they likely care about.

The X5 browser core in WeChat seems to be based on Chromium (and was vulnerable to Chromium-only vulnerability CVE-2023-4357)
Do they ship their own browser?
WeChat is a 'super app' to the point that you don't need really a browser in China anymore. It's a mobile first based ecosystem (WeChat, XHS, Douban, Taobao, etc)
I know that. But is there no web access at all?
