True, Graphene would be a good start.

China don't have Google PlayStore, but only their own apps market, also Amazon and Samsung have their own app stores.

It's not impossible to have a different apps market, it there's an user base, and developers will follow the market

    That's why Android needs to be forked and have an independente development asap.

    EU is ditching big US corporations, however Google is restricting third party app stores, and control over which apps can be installed.

    Google Services are built-in on almost Android devices, giving access to everything that happens on those devices (phones, tablets, Android TV...), which is basically an rootkit, it can remotely access any app, any file, and control the device.

    EU and any other nation needs an alternative to Android or iOS, truly open source without external control of any corporation

    PS: I know there are open source alternatives like PostmarkedOS, but lacks of apps, and still requires Android to run Android apps

    Why not USA invades Taiwan and offers to China?
    It would be much simpler

    Remember when USA sold weapons to Afghanistan in the 80s?
    How that went?
