  Here is how you join as a developer - I'm impressed so far - very smooth.

  If you are in the UK, you have until Friday night (that's when we are booted out of the EU) to get your EU vat verification screenshot (if you are VAT registered) - needed to take payments from Huawei...

  (Just go to the site, enter your VAT details, twice - you are both the searcher and the searchee !)

  Worldwide, it's on all their phones. I think there are half a billion active users or something - not really sure.

  Then tell how many downloads the store gives.
  I am stopping all my projects until the best of times.

  @SinisterSoft I would like to know about your experience with them.
  
  You already told us you're impressed with it. I believe you're talking about their documentation and their submission process.
  
  But what about downloads?
  
  Thanks.

  Not been approved yet - I think it's a Chinese holiday right now plus they are having major health issues with the virus outbreak. I'll give them some time - but I'm very impressed with the 'backend' system so far.

  I still have this (see screenshot) on display after I log in - it means my identity hasn't been manually verified yet - I can upload an APK, but it won't be distributed until I'm properly identified.

  And how to you intend to monetize your games? By using ads? In this case, are Chinese market accepted by your ad providers?

  Either Ads or IAP, IAP will need to be added though as their API currently isn't supported.
  
  As well as China their store is on International models of the phones - both Huawei and Honor brands.

  Apparently there is at least one exception to foreign games in China - hyper casual is allowed without having to be approved. I heard this at a talk at PocketGamer.

  You misunderstood me, games in china are allowed to publish, but selling games is forbidden
  Even after the game is approved, they won't be allowed to sell.
  
  Only Chinese people can sell in China

  Ahh, I think there may still be an exception for hypercasual. I'll try to look into it further.

  They cannot compete with the google-owned android platform.

  It's a regular franchise - the franchise parties are not competing

  Did you discover who is right: either you or @oleg? I think it's him (unfortunately), but I'd like to know for sure.

  No, I suspect I'm right though.
