This is truly Kafka-esque and nothing more than hostage taking economic policy by China and it seems pretty pointless. Let's state at the outset that yes there is a case by almost any national regulator to pursue an anti trust case against Google. However, and this is big 1/n
Because Google is blocked in China, it's not really clear what measures they could impose upon Google or pursue remedies. In other words, China files the case, wins of course, what happens next? They block Google even more? Interestingly, the case was filed by Huawei over 2/n
Android which is really reeks of desperation. Huawei has no replacement which they have been promising the world for years so they bring a case against Google. So Huawei wins it's case against Google. What's it going to do? Stop using Android? Final point, Huawei PR is built 3/n
