Apple has been pressuring ByteDance and Tencent to close loopholes in China that funnel customers to external payment systems for making in-app purchases, according to a report by Bloomberg. Anyone living in the West knows the drill here. Apple wants that 30 percent commission.
Reporting indicates this pressure campaign began in May.

Tencent complied with the original request, issuing an update in July, but Apple went one step further.
