Google cuts the bridges with Huawei

 

Google has announced that it will discontinue any cooperation with Huawei that requires any transfer of hardware or software except those open source. According to a source close to the company, the move comes against the backdrop of the intention of the US government to strike a blow to Chinese technology companies around the world.


The move will block Android updates coming from its phones and its new phones outside China will lose all the company's services and applications such as Google Play Store, Gmail, Google Maps, Chrome browser and the rest of the Google Android app package. Huawei will not be able to use any Google software for the Android system because it is open source but Google will not provide any technical support.

The move came after US President Donald Trump decided to put Huawei officially on the blacklist of US businesses, which would make it suffer if it tried to engage in any economic activity with any US company. This is not the first time that the US administration has made a similar decision as it has been applied to ZTE before but Google did not take any step then.

Huawei, for its part, has not issued any official data to respond to Google has also did not like the US Chamber of Commerce on the punishment of Trump decisions and how it will affect Huawei and the rest of Chinese companies.

Now all possibilities are open. Huawei can completely abandon the Android system and may only provide alternative service to the Google store.
