On Saturday, Apple had removed 29,800 apps from Chinese App Store, covering over 26,000 games, as Reuters quoted the data from China's Qimai.
Apple had in February noticed the game developers that it would execute Chinese request to put down any non-approved games by the PRC from August.

Looks like the US government is pushing some buttons on the Big Tech companies to make life difficult for the Chinese. This might not do so well for Apple in their pursuit for revenue and may benefit Tencent in its quest to dominate the mobile gaming industry with Android although we are not sure what/how Google is going to deal with its Android software in China.
We know that Huawei is the primary target however we need to remember there are other mobile brands in China which still have full access to Android like Oppo, Xiaomi.
