Does Google App Review Work in China?


What is Google App Review?

Google App Review is the process by which applications are evaluated before being published on the Google Play Store. This review ensures that apps comply with Google’s policies on content, security, and user experience, maintaining a standard quality across the platform.

Is Google App Review Available in China?

The Google Play Store is not available in China due to it being blocked outright by the Great Firewall of China. This renders the Google App Review process irrelevant for the Chinese market.​

  • Alternative App Stores: Android applications in China are distributed through a variety of local app stores, each with its own review and approval process. Major platforms include Huawei AppGallery, Tencent MyApp, Xiaomi App Store, among others. These stores have specific requirements and standards that differ from Google’s policies.​
  • Regulatory Environment: China’s app distribution is governed by strict regulations, including content censorship and data privacy laws. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory for app approval and distribution.​
