Chinese ministry says Google 'controls too much' of its smartphone market'

China and Google just can't seem to getalong. The country's ministry is the latest to take issue with el Goog, stating that it has too much control within the smartphone industry because of its Android OS and is discriminating against local rivals. China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced this in its recent white paper, adding that the country had the ability to craft its own mobile OS if it wanted to. According to the document: "While the Android system is open source, the core technology and technology roadmap is strictly controlled by Google." It goes on to describe how the Mountain View crew had apparently delayed sharing source code with Chinese companies developing their own operating systems. The paper also took the opportunity to praise homegrown stars like Baidu, Alibaba and Huawei for their own systems. In short, it looks like an amicable relationship is still a while off.

Well, if they were better innovators than copiers they might not be in this predicament. Anyway.... it's not as if communists aren't comfortable with monopolies of one sort or another.

Hook up those Cherry, Star and other affordable smartphones with a chinese developed OS, and I would assume their sales would plummet..

The reason we opted to go with those brands (I myself for curiosity's sake bought CM Flare, and all I can say is worth every penny you spent due to Android stuffs on it), is because of the capability Android would bring to the phone...
