Hard to tell what's going on here. Why should Google care about
"Android
shipments" . Maybe because of the separate AliCloud sucking revenue? Or
The advantages for Aliyun include, for example,
the integration of
the online payment services provided by Alipay, an Alibaba affiliate, into the
operating system to make mobile transactions easier and
more secure, Mr. Zeng
said. WSJ
Surely App sales are too trivial to worry Google?
The OS itself is a binary-compatible Android clone. An App Store was
launched with the
Aliyun OS that contains downloadable Android
APK_(file_format) files. wikipedia
For the
record at least one other Chinese handset maker ships Android installed in
an
export flavor with full Google apps suite, and in a domestic flavor with no
Google apps, cloud or ad connections. Huawei Android 4.0.3 B926 Chinese version ,
and B934 General
version

Don't be ridiculous. This is part of the smear
Google campaign. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

This is a non-issue.
Just as Android is not Java, Aliyun is not Android.

Ie using a google logo or android branding or something without permission.
Just because android is open source doesn't mean everything else is fair game
too. Looks pretty bad but I don't think that's the full story yet - we've only
heard from one side, so I'd reserve judgment for now.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Obviously with just a single reference for the connection - they may be
different entities and/or it may not mean anything.
Apparently Yahoo owns 43% of Alibaba.
And of course, Microsoft
once-upon-a-time made quite the bid to acquire Yahoo. When that failed, they entered search and
advertising deals with each other.
Is the connection
meaningless? Or is this just another proxy attack arranged by Microsoft on
Google?
I guess we'll have to wait for the rest of the story.

Did they threaten to sue?
They just told their partner that
has a preferential treatment, that
if they want to maintain this
preferential treatment, they need to
be more committed To them. The 2
way street thing. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I have serious doubts about this. Acer and others already manufacture phones
with other OS's on them, or are developing new OS's, including Windows, Bada,
Tizen, and others, but Google has never appeared to pressure them to drop
support. Why would they worry about a new OS in China when they have 80% market
share there and growing? No, something stinks about this...[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The only source for these rumors so far has been Alibaba / Aliyun.
Don't
forget that Google had to leave China in 2010 after state-sponsored hacking
attempts.
Furthermore, Google has been targeted specifically by the Chinese
regime for its stance on censorship.
Source 1 and
Source 2 - these documents came out after Bo
Xilai's fall and from Wikileaks and other docs.
For all we know, Alibaba
(makers of Aliyun) could be a proxy for the Chinese regime in its war against
Google. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
