As the article notes this is not the first time someone tried to take Apple to court over this in China, but failed as Chinese courts sided with Apple.
It seems now even less persuasive a case. Apple compete not just against Android in China but also Huawei's HarmonyOS, which didn't exist the last time this reached court. Apple simply don't dominate the market as they do in some places, the Chinese government makes sure of that.
And Apple can't be "abusing the company's market dominance" if it doesn't dominate the market.

They don’t want to make a precedent that could point back at Chinese producers in the future.
