According
to The Wall Street Journal, the largest Chinese operator Alibaba Group plans to press the Android platform of its own OS - Aliyun, developed on the basis of Linux.
As Zeng Ming, director of strategic development for Alibaba Group, notes, now in China the demand from vendors for smartphones based on the Aliyun operating system is growing, and, according to his forecasts, by the end of this year the share of the new platform in the Chinese market will grow from the current 2% to 5%.
In China, we may have no less strong positions than Android claims Zeng Ming.
He associates the possible success with limited Android functionality in China. For the users of the Celestial Empire, maps, search and email are not always available on devices on the platform from Google.

Aliyun now works on Beijing Tianyu Communication Equipment smartphones sold under the K-Touch brand and on the Haier Electronics Group devices. It is planned that very soon it will also appear on smartphones from other manufacturers.
The key difference of the new OS from iOS and Android is its “cloudiness“: all the applications that the user installs on the device run on remote servers.
PS It's strange why google has not yet opened the full functionality in China.
