    Virtually any smartphone manufacturer in China apart from Huawei and Apple pay licensing fees to Google. Sounds very monopoly when tens of manufacturers pay licensing fees to the same company. Right or wrong motivation there’s a compelling case unless one hits the great mental firewall of “China bad”.

      Okay, you are possibly right here. After digging into China’s law, they do include laws that allows investigations into companies that is monopoly overseas as long as the company has business in China.

      But my end point still stands; this is still a very specific time to start the investigation, Android dominance is definitely a part of cause, but in the end it is just a part of political drama between two asshole governments that end up not benefiting both county’s people
