China’s Ministry of Industry has released a paper expressing concern over the Android mobile operating system’s dominance in the market, claiming the nation has become “too dependent” on the Google technology. A translation of the report found the Ministry to also be concern of Google’s overall dominance and accuses the company of abusing its dominance and discriminating against Chinese developers in various ways. According to reports, 2011 estimates showed 90 percent of smartphones in China were run by Android. Despite the report, the Ministry of Industry revealed no plans to bring action against Google.
