Take Rates in China
Chinese Android app stores, dominated by manufacturers like Huawei, Oppo, and Vivo, typically charge a 50% commission on in-app purchases, significantly higher than Apple’s 30% rate.

While iOS users account for only 25% of the Chinese gaming population, they generate approximately 40% of total mobile game revenue.
