Okay, you are possibly right here. After digging into China's law, they do include laws that allows investigations into companies that is monopoly overseas as long as the company has business in China.

But my end point still stands; this is still a very specific time to start the investigation, Android dominance is definitely a part of cause, but in the end it is just a part of political drama between two asshole governments that end up not benefiting both county's people

Really not sure what they actually launched the antitrust probe for; this is just pure political drama lol Edit: Okay, it is possibly because of Android dominance, but again, still a political drama

It's not political drama, they were happy to look the other way when there was a quid pro quo. There isn't one anymore so they enforce their own laws. It's 2025 not 1825, we're not right just because we speak English. Although I'm sure a non insignificant portion of the US executive would be more than happy to blockade Beijing and make it rain artillery fire.

The US was also happy to look the other way when Uyghur slaves were manufacturing components for Apple. It's just normal geopolitics.
