- Google has a very limited presence in China these days after it pulled its search engine from the market in 2010 with local players including Baidu and Tencent coming to dominate the internet landscape.The move marks the end of one of its last remaining products in the world's second-largest economy.But The New York Times reported last month that Google has shifted some production of its Pixel smartphones to Vietnam.The company is also looking to try to get Chinese developers to make apps for its Android operating system globally that will then be available via the Google Play Store, even though that's blocked in China.American businesses have been caught in the middle of continued tensions in the technology sphere between the U.S. and China."
