Google plans to re-enter China next year with a revamped, China-specific version of its Google Play app store, Reuters reported.

Google, part of newly created parent Alphabet, is developing a version of Google Play specifically for China and not connected to its global version, said Reuters, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The Chinese version reportedly will comply with the country’s tight censorship requirements and store data locally. Google has informed the government that it will follow local laws and block any apps that are objectionable. The app store is expected to allow users to pay by Alipay and Tencent’s WeChat Payment.

Reports emerged in early September that Google was looking to return to China after pulling out five years ago due to disputes over censorship with the government connected with its search engine results. Its Gmail service has been blocked in the country on an IP level since last December.

The launch of Google Play in China is expected to be the company’s first move back into the huge Chinese market. But the company has lost ground to local players and has little market share in search and video streaming.

Indicating its interest in the mainland, last month Google acquired a minority stake in Beijing-based artificial intelligence startup Mobvoi as part of a $75 million round of funding.
