In 2010, Google pulled its Play services from China. According to a new report, the company is trying to make a return to China with a modified version of Google Play to fair with the Chinese government.


Google is looking to bring its core service back to China. Google holds a lot of market share in China and what is an Android device without Google services. Earlier, Google stated “there is money to be made” and demands a settlement with the Chinese government.

Google is now in close talks with China and is allegedly inches away from closing a deal. The deal would let Google create a modified version of its Google Play Store that stays within the governments boundaries. The compromise will allow the Chinese government to shut down any service they don’t approve of at any given time. In addition, Google is working to bring its Android Wear OS to China. This would be the first time Chinese users will be able to use Google’s new smartwatches.

With Chinese smartphone manufactures on the rise, it’s essential for Google to make a deal. Competitors like iOS are gaining steam and if Google wants to open up the gap they need to make an agreement fast.
