    No, Google Is completely blocked in china so it wouldn’t make sense to pay a license for their play services

    Fun fact: I had to hard reset my pixel in china and I had trouble to even pass the welcome screen as it would say that the wifi network wasn’t working, because they ping a Google server

        where do you live?? Google play was banned in China in 2010. That’s NINE years before huawei was banned in the rest of the world. It changed absolutely nothing for them, in the chinese market.
