Huawei has made a conscious push to become less reliant on American technology over the past few years

fan of Huawei. Its officials have spent months warning that the Chinese giant’s smartphones and networking gear could be Trojan horses for Chinese spies . They have threatened to withhold intelligence from any ally that allows the firm in. On May 15th they raised the stakes. President Donald Trump barred American firms from using telecoms equipment made by firms posing a “risk to national security”. His order named no names. But its target was plain.

By May 20th the impact of the ban was becoming clear. Google said it had stopped supplying the proprietary components of its Android mobile operating system to Huawei. A string of American chipmakers, including Intel, Qualcomm and Micron, have also ceased sales. Later that day the Commerce Department softened its line slightly, saying that firms could continue to supply Huawei for 90 days, but for existing products—for instance, with software updates for Huawei phones already in use.

Yet few analysts are as sanguine as Mr Ren. Three business areas in particular look vulnerable. Without Google’s co-operation, new Huawei phones will lack the latest versions of Android, and popular apps such as Gmail or Maps. That may not matter in China, where Google’s apps are forbidden. But it could be crippling in Europe, Huawei’s second-biggest market. Its telecoms business needs beefy server chips from Intel. The supply of software to manage those networks could dry up too.

Paul Triolo of Eurasia Group, a political-risk consultancy, is doubtful. Rather than a negotiating tactic, he sees the ban as “the logical end-game of thecampaign to take down Huawei”. A long-lasting ban would force the firm to look for alternative chips and software that Chinese suppliers would struggle to provide.

I wonder what happens if China banned apple from China

Conclusion...outside of China, Huawei mobile is KO.

Even if they remove Huawei in the us market, a billion consumer in china would still flourished the company. If the rumored OS will be proven reliable all they need to do is dominate the Indian economy and the rest of the Asia.

USA is master of cheating, stealing and lying. Mike Pompeo: we cheated, we lied and we stole.

save the best for the last

Is ‘Plan B’ stolen again?

You mean like steal even more IP?

Sounds like a sleeper cell?

One thing to think about is Resale. Looking around I see their phones taking a Battering in used value even only after one year .! They can’t persuade me to ditch my iPhone . I buy one every 2-3 years they work harmoniously my parents are using a 5s and am SE they work great.

If plan B was better, it was not B, huawei is a dangerous company especially for security. Main point is security not market share.

Actually there is no Plan B. Turned out those so called backup technologies are hoaxes.

Are they threatening to blackmail customers by releasing transcripts of all the texts and calls they recorded?

Can Huawei not focus on what is the world's largest market, China?
