California-based tech behemoth has found itself in the middle of an ongoing trade war between China and the United States. The latter recently blacklisted Huawei Technologies, prompting Google to restrict access to its Android operating system.

Google has warned that if the Trump administration goes ahead with an extensive ban on Huawei, it risks compromising national security, the Financial Times reported.


Even though the restrictions may land Huawei in some trouble in the short run, tech experts say it would push the company, as well as other Chinese firms, to become more self-reliant by developing their own, tailor-made technologies, thus undermining the dominance of US firms, such as Google in the long run.


The US multinational tech company is in particular concerned that it would not be allowed to update its Android operating system on Huawei devices, which, it insists, would cause the Chinese giant to develop its own version of the software, according to the media outlet, quoting people familiar with Google’s “lobbying efforts”.
In addition, Google is reportedly worried that a Huawei-modified version of Android would be more vulnerable and susceptible to being hacked.

The company has yet to comment on the report.

Google suspended operations with Huawei, including the transfer of all hardware, software, and technical services, except those publicly available via open source licensing, on 20 May – shortly after the US Department of Commerce added the company to a blacklist, known as the “Entity List”.

At the time, Reuters cited an unnamed source as saying that following the decision, Huawei smartphones, which run on Google’s Android operating system, are expected to lose access to updates to certain apps and services, including the Google Play Store, Gmail, and YouTube, but the existing devices will be safe from future restrictions.


Under the executive order, signed by President Donald Trump, the Shenzhen-based company and its 70 affiliates were added to a blacklist that prevents American companies from selling components to Huawei without a government license.

Shortly thereafter, the US Commerce Department issued a 90-day “temporary general license” to allow some firms to continue doing business with Huawei, for instance, to supply the company with the technologies necessary to perform software updates on existing devices.

In late May, China’s Commerce Ministry spokesperson, Gao Feng, reportedly said that Beijing would hit back with its counter-blacklist of “unreliable” foreign enterprises and individuals. The list would purportedly include those who fail to comply with market regulations and substantially damage the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese firms.
In recent months, Huawei has faced accusations of spying through its devices and stealing commercial information on behalf of Chinese authorities. The company, as well as Beijing, have vehemently denied the allegations and dismissed the United States’ attempts to limit Huawei’s activities.

The standoff between the Chinese company and the United States is unfolding against the backdrop of the ongoing trade war between Beijing and Washington that dramatically escalated after the Trump administration threatened to introduce increased 25 percent tariffs on Chinese goods.

Anybody that is not carried away with US exceptionalism story and US media lies, who is fully aware of reality on ground will know this Huawei issues will affect America's software makers, chip makers and other technological patronage american firm ejoy because China and other countries dont want to upset the existing order but US has upset the order by her self so she has open the window of excuses for other countries to do what they are afraid of doing.

Last week Huawei purchased Russain facial and digital identification company and 2days ago President XI and Putin signed a secret accord for Chinese chips maker to starts looking at partnership with Russian semi conductor firms.
This are bad news for americas dustribution chain.

I believed they are all doing it secretly but the deed has been done and they v all shown to be unreliable. Other non American firm who deeply depends on them will be looking for backup right now and organisation including Airbus and co will know they can't rely on american firm for essential compnents anymore.

America end is near. In the next 10 years it will all be over. They choose the wrong enemy. Chinese are not loud talkers. American media has been crying of the collapse of China's economy for over a decade now but they just retained th fastest growing economy in the world from India. America is China's biittch
