Before anyone gets too excited, the headline is clickbait. The bigger Chinese phone brands are looking into de-googled Android. They are still going to use Android.
Chinese laptop makers are also in search of an OS that isn't Windows. Queue a race to prop Linux with Android support on that side of things.
The US/China decoupling is happening everywhere.
The front line is everywhere, there be no shelter here.
They got you searching for the thin line between entertainment and war.
I live in Asia. I'm European and meet a lot of Chinese tourists. Trying to find a common ground with digital services we both use is impractical to the point where we often can't connect online.
