Makes sense, Java sucks and native apps are much faster and use less resources.

Once they paid Tencent, Baidu and Alibaba to port their apps, basically 95% of the Chinese market is satisfied.

You only need WeChat, taobao, alipay, pinduoduo, Baidu and amap in China.

Because they don't need to worry about selling their device abroad, they have the luxury to not only give up to google apps, but to all the apps

iPhone users are also having similar limitations with all the apps in the app store blacklisted except a few dozens manually approved by govt, but Apple is still selling a lot of units, even if it's just a "WeChat mobile terminal" and not a real smartphone anymore
