    No, Google Is completely blocked in china so it wouldn’t make sense to pay a license for their play services

    Fun fact: I had to hard reset my pixel in china and I had trouble to even pass the welcome screen as it would say that the wifi network wasn’t working, because they ping a Google server

      Bro, Google Play was banned from Huawei in 2019. In response, they started making their own alternatives. The ban came before Huawei moved to HarmonyOS. HarmonyOS was launched in 2019.

      Huawei had no problems at all selling their phones in China. They were already 100% google-less before the ban, and after the ban it was the “patriot choice” to get their phones

      You were wrong. Plain and simple.

        where do you live?? Google play was banned in China in 2010. That’s NINE years before huawei was banned in the rest of the world. It changed absolutely nothing for them, in the chinese market.

        Every single manufacturer, including Samsung, when targeting the chinese market, they don’t include any google service

        It’s like if a vegan gets banned from mcdonalds. “Oh no, anyway”, he’s going to say
