China and Russia are likewise involved in their own genocides (Uyghurs and Ukraine respectively), and they are just as interested in developing centralised systems of control. They will not give the world truly free and open platform.

Indeed and if Google would pull the plug on AOSP, some initiative like this would become the de facto Android standard.
