If Apple follows EU guidelines and opens their ecosystem to third-party app stores, like f Droid. Then this really won't be an issue
Third party app stores have zero bearing on this matter. China wants every developer to be registered. If new app stores were allowed, then those stores would have to comply and have all their developers registered.
This has nothing to do with App Store monopolies. Not even sure how the two got mixed together.
So it's the same story for Android?
Yup, but since Google is not in China, we don't hear about Google complying, but every other Chinese app store is complying with this new law.
Yup
