US tech companies could be allowed to resume business with Huawei in the "next two to four weeks" as a ban on US sales to China's mobile giant is eased. After years of passive hostility, Washington effectively blacklisted Huawei for national security reasons in early 2019. The decision limits Huawei's access to components and prevents its phones from receiving updates to Huawei's Android operating system. Google or access your popular apps.
The United States' ban on Huawei
Although Huawei builds its own operating system and makes its own components (it already makes its own Kirin processors), the lack of key services like Google Maps and the Google Play Store is a huge blow to the appeal of its devices in Western markets. Meanwhile, the production of components such as modems is an expensive and time-consuming undertaking. However, this has also had a significant impact on US providers, many of whom will lose significant revenue if the ban persists. Of the €80 billion Huawei spent on components last year, €11 billion was paid to US companies including Qualcomm, Intel and Broadcom. This has prompted some industry representatives to ask the US Department of Commerce to reconsider its position, which it did last week. He confirmed that some suppliers could deal with Huawei, as long as there were no national security risks. It is difficult to know which categories of products are considered safe and it must be emphasized that the decision is still in force, which means that it could be applied again if trade negotiations fail. According to Reuters, an official said that licenses to do business with Huawei could be approved differently, and that applications would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, at least initially. Huawei has consistently denied any allegations of wrongdoing, while the United States has never provided evidence to support its claims that the company's network equipment is a threat to national security. He considers that the decision should be completely annulled, due to lack of evidence. via Reuters
