Google severs Huawei access to Android software
The move means new Huawei smartphones won't be able to access many popular apps. The embattled Chinese company is under immense US pressure over its alleged government ties.

US tech giant Google said on Sunday it was pulling Huawei's license to use its mobile phone operating system Android, forcing the Chinese company to rely on an open source version of the software.

New Huawei smartphones will no longer have access to services such as Gmail, maps and YouTube as well as security updates.

However, people already owning Huawei phones will be able to use and update apps already downloaded.

Last week, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to stop US companies from using telecommunications equipment made by "foreign adversaries" deemed to pose a national security risk. Trump blacklisted Huawei, denying it access to domestic markets and restricting US sales to the company.

"We are complying with the order and reviewing the implications," a Google spokesperson said.

Huawei has come under immense US pressure following allegations it allows Chinese intelligence agencies to use alleged backdoors in the software. The allegations prompted the Chinese Foreign Ministry to denounce Western "hysteria" .

Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei has refused to bow to US pressure. Last week, Ren said his company had "already been preparing for this."

"We have not done anything which violates the law," Ren told Japanese business daily The Nikkei. "It is expected that Huawei's growth may slow, but only slightly."

Huawei is said to be a pioneer of 5G technology but relies heavily on foreign suppliers. The company buys about $67 billion (€60 billion) worth of components each year, including about $11 billion from US suppliers, according to The Nikkei.

Adverse impact

US media reports suggest Huawei had developed its own operating system in the event it lost access to Google and Microsoft services. Some of this technology is already being used in products sold in China, Huawei has said.

I’ve never been a fan of other android phones except for Samsung

Samsung remains best android product any day any time for me

Chai....serious hammer

However, the fact is that this may just turn out to be a blessing in disguise for Huawei and China.

They are masters at reverse engineering and they will surely look inwards to develop their own alternative which might become a tough competition. If this happens, then Trump and US may have failed to heed the warning: "in victory, know when to stop"

The problem of Chinese is they always think they push you down

This Donald Trump eh! na character.

This man may not hate Muslims, but his hate for major Asian countries knows no bounds

Ok
Let see

U.S. too much oooo

The US is just trying to kill this company out of jealousy.
You can see why Africa will never develop, they can give you all the aid you need but the west never want you to succeed.

good for them...they allow chinese government to kill their brand awareness in western world

This is a hug blow on the second largest phone maker in the world. They're gonna lose Africa market.

Trade is war and as between these two giants, the world is their theatre of war. Let everyone choose their side.
