Google Huawei ban: Will Chinese smartphone users lose access to Gmail, YouTube and Chrome apps?
The trade war between the U.S. and China stepped up a notch on Sunday, when Google’s parent company announced it had suspended some business with the Chinese company.
Current Huawei models running Google apps will continue to do so and updates are expected to be available as normal. Huawei users can still use the version of the Android operating system available via an open source licence. “Huawei will only be able to use the public version of Android and will not be able to get access to proprietary apps and services from Google,” a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Huawei’s chief executive Ren Zhengfei remained bullish over the ban and told Japanese media over the weekend that Washington’s decision did not catch the company by surprise. "We have already been preparing for this,” was quoted as saying. “This looks like the worst nightmare a company could imagine in having its supply chain disrupted,” Kiranjeet Kaur, senior research manager at IDC Asia-Pacific was quoted as saying by the South China Morning Post.

The U.S. has long claimed that telecom equipment from Huawei poses a national security risk.
