The United States said last week it was adding Huawei to a trade blacklist because the company “is engaged in activities that are contrary to U.S. national security or foreign policy interest.” That punishment means U.S. firms aren’t allowed to sell to Huawei unless they get special approval from the government.
“The current practice of U.S. politicians underestimates our strength,” Ren said in a group interview with Chinese media Tuesday morning. Huawei had a stockpile of chips and “can’t be isolated” from the world, he said. “As one of Android’s key global partners, we have worked closely with their open-source platform to develop an ecosystem that has benefitted both users and the industry,” said spokesman Joe Kelly, adding that Huawei would continue to provide security updates and after-sales services to its existingsmartphone and tablet products.
Other analysts took a dimmer view of Huawei’s prospects. “They are still heavily, heavily dependent on U.S.-based companies for multiple different technologies,” said Geoff Blaber, vice president of research at CCS Insight. “While we are complying with all U.S. government requirements, services like Google Play [and others] will keep functioning on your existing Huawei device,” Google said in a statement on its Twitter account.But Google is suspending licensing agreements with Huawei for access to its Play app store, meaning future Huawei customers won’t have popular Google apps such as Gmail, the Chrome browser and even YouTube.
