Huawei has removed Tencent games like Arena of Valor from its app store. This is due to changes in the interaction of companies, which were the first to go to Tencent. Huawei dominates the Chinese smartphone market, accounting for 43% of device shipments last quarter.

Tencent owns the companies behind League of Legends and Clash of Clans, and also distributes Chinese versions of famous games like PUBG and Monster Hunter: World. The dispute between the companies promises to affect many mobile players in China.

Huawei said its legal department has recommended this decision due to Tencent's request to end the partnership. Tencent, meanwhile, said the agreement between the companies expired before a new one could be negotiated. All Tencent games disappeared from Huawei's Chinese app store on the morning of January 1st.

Any centrally controlled app marketplace is unacceptable.
