> I predict their own Android fork and China-focused app store will do fine in China, but struggle big time in other markets.

Why would they need it to be popular anywhere other than China?

Because they have spent years trying to increase market share in Europe and South America, and are only now seeing the fruits of that labor. In the Chinese market they have to compete on price against Xiaomi, Oppo and many, many others, whereas in overseas markets their offerings (minus the P30 flagship) have a big price advantage over Samsung and Apple.
