LG G3 China all google products blocked - please help

Hi, I just bought my LG G3 D857, Android 4.4.2 in China. I live in China. software version D85710c-CUO-CN
I copied the Google Play Store apk file into my mobile and install it, but when I click on the logo, the app open and closes straight away.
Also, when I try to download a google product (from other app stores), I get an error message saying: "not compatible, need Google Services Framework".
Any idea on how to go around this?
thanks in advance

I think you need the latest google play services apk.

I'm not a g3 user so i cannot give you the exact step but the big picture... I believe that is require more than just installing google play apk. It require gapps and to install gapps i think you need a root. And to root please go to xda forum or just search the tutorial @ google.

Second: I haven't done any research but you can install (operating system) miui rom or cyanogen mod for g3 incase chinese gov blocked the playstore at the core of your current os.

Please try the first one - root, install cwm (clockworkmod recovery for g3) or twrp recovery for g3 and install gapps (just type gapps on google it should be easy to find).
