Why is it Ok when it's not even a secret that the US Government has been in bed with  Google, Microsoft, Intel and the Qualcomms for many years? Other nations don't even make a big deal out of it but just mere romours of China and Huawei end up causing quite a stir.

Very silly move IMO from both the Orange man and Google

I've been looking for this topic, great that we already have.

There's an update that's related to Huawei ban, three more companies joins the ban. Broadcom is included in the article.

So we will just see two superpower developing two different technologies and normal users have a choice of deciding whom would they send their private data to.

Yes, no, sort of.

As an American I would choose and a Huawei phone because I am probably not of great interest to the Chi-coms although they probably trade my data to the 5-eyes anyway.  I ended up getting an ASUS as my Asia phone since there a lot of a lot of images created for it.  Nice phone actually.  I like it!

I suspect that Israel has all the data of both the 5-eyes and of the Chi-coms.  They give the Chi-coms U.S. military technology in exchange for whatever they want in return, and 'full take' on every citizen in the world is important for their future aspirations.

If Huawai wanted to screw the 5-eyes they could fork android (or do a better OS) and release real, audited, open hardware for the world (outside of China of course...no way they'll let their own citizens have anything like freedom.)  I, for one, would use such hardware no matter what the cost.  Almost certainly no phone will ever be allowed to work in the U.S. (empire's holdings) which doesn't have 5-eyes backdoors, and certainly not if it lacks Israeli ones.

Huawei is widely believed to be an arm of the Chinese Government by Western/Five Eyes intelligence agencies, although Huawei and the Chinese Government both deny this. It is believed that Huawei equipment contains "backdoors" that the Chinese Government can use to either disable the equipment in the future (cutting off communications), or actually transmit (and/or leak) sensitive information.

In general, this should be considered a good thing.

If the above is true, Huawei will continue to operate with government support, although much less people will buy their phones. Huawei still has access to the open source version of Android.

A bigger concern for me about Huawei equipment is the equipment that supports backbones of communications networks, such as switches, and wireless antenna.  

They indeed are, there are conspiracy theory before that they've been getting personal information through their smartphones. This can really be the war that some of us are talking about. I am actually more afraid on how this tech giant worked than google.

I am pretty sure that the Chinese government will eventually boycott some of it's product as well and in worse cases they will no longer support manufacturing products from US. This can then be too bad for Iphone business of US as well. Guess what the Chinese government will surely use the CIA for that lol

But guess what the Huaweii team are actually prepared for this situation

Huawei has said it has spent the last few years preparing a contingency plan by developing its own technology in case it is blocked from using Android. Some of this technology is already being used in products sold in China, the company has said.

The impact is expected to be minimal in the Chinese market. Most Google mobile apps are banned in China, where alternatives are offered by domestic competitors such as Tencent and Baidu.

Huawei’s European business, its second-biggest market, could be hit as Huawei licenses these services from Google in Europe.

Some key information that I found from looking into the topic a bit more deeply.

Huawei will immediately lose access to updates to the Android operating system, and the next version of its smartphones outside of China will also lose access to popular applications and services including the Google Play Store and Gmail app.
Google will stop providing any technical support and collaboration for Android and Google services to Huawei going forward.

I think this is without a DOUBT a death sentence for Huawei phones (outside of China) they're going to be unable to compete without the play store as people do love the app store and the play store and aren't going to want to adjust to an entirely different app store. I guess they're going to have to dedicate a large deal of money and time in creating a new store. Ouch.

This is a big deal for both Huawei, Google and the entire market of smartphone.
Huawei won't get android updates and most of the google apps. This would force it to leave Android platform and seek for something else.
This would essentially destroy the current market of Huawei and it's currently the 2nd largest smartphone producer.
This is a new form of trade war that is going to have a longer impact on how we shape the future of our earth.
What type of consequences do you believes such action bring in in the short and long run?
