And Saves Itself Some Trouble Wall Street Journal : Google Cuts Off Huawei Smartphones From Some Android Services Stephanie Condon / ZDNet : US grants temporary license for Huawei to support products Eduard Kovacs / SecurityWeek : Huawei Vows to Deliver Android Security Updates After Google Cut-Off Phil Siarri / FutureSin : Parallels between the Huawei and ZTE US bans Tweets: @android : For Huawei users' questions regarding our steps to comply w/ the recent US government actions: We assure you while we are complying with all US gov't requirements, services like Google Play & security from Google Play Protect will keep functioning on your existing Huawei device. @bopinion : .@tculpan: The Huawei ban will only accelerate the process of creating a digital iron curtain that separates the world into two distinct, mutually exclusive technological spheres https://www.bloomberg.com/... https://twitter.com/... Dave Schroeder / @daveschroeder : Huawei says it's a ‘victim of bullying by the US’ https://www.engadget.com/... Rick Scott / @senrickscott : China is our greatest geopolitical threat. They're stealing our trade secrets and intellectual property using companies like Huawei. The President took a strong step, but we must continue pushing to protect our national security and private information. https://twitter.com/... Tom Warren / @tomwarren : Android isn't open source, and today's Huawei license removal underlines that. Yes there's AOSP, but nobody outside China uses it, and everyone is reliant on the Google Play Store and the many APIs Google has been moving from AOSP into Play Services. Trade war is gonna get messy Vlad Savov / @vladsavov : The US has presented exactly zero evidence of Huawei devices being a greater security risk than any other Android phones. This is arbitrary, punitive, and hypocritical. https://www.theverge.com/... Dave Lee / @daveleebbc : What would stop Huawei setting up a European company to develop Android for its phones? James Cook / @jamesliamcook : Statement from Huawei. The final paragraph seems to hint at plans to release its own smartphone operating system, which has been in development for several years pic.twitter.com/IJ4Wlyp3HL Marco Rubio / @marcorubio : Many of these articles on #Huawei imply U.S. and/or Trump are doing something wrong #China had had two decades to become a responsible tech actor & refused This is a real & serious threat to our national security. Something had to be done https://www.nytimes.com/... via @NYTimes Chris Murphy / @chrismurphyct : I support the crack-down on Huawei. But without U.S. companies that can compete with Huawei, we are fighting with one hand tied behind our back. This is a Sputnik moment and the United States has no industrial policy to counter China. Needs to change. https://www.nytimes.com/... Li Yuan / @liyuan6 : If China and the United States have begun a technological Cold War, then the Huawei order can best be seen as the beginnings of a digital Iron Curtain. latest from me. Got to say surprised at how many Chinese are surprised by what reciprocity means. https://www.nytimes.com/... Dhruva Jaishankar / @d_jaishankar : A new digital Iron Curtain has descended across the world. https://twitter.com/... Spandrell / @thespandrell : As of now, only the “5 eyes” Anglo alliance (and UK hasn't decided yet) + Japan has put a ban on Huawei 5G infrastructure. South Korea still buys Huawei, as does Europe. Most of the the rest of the world is Huawei too. Hell, not even India has taken sides yet. https://twitter.com/... Tim Culpan / @tculpan : Thread: When history is told, I think May 2019 will be marked down as the time when the U.S. - China tech cold war began. U.S. moves to block supply to Huawei is an escalation beyond any of the trade-war tariffs and posturing that's come before. https://www.bloomberg.com/... Rajiv Malhotra / @rajivmessage : The USA vs China trade war is going to spread wider into a Cold War. India is dependent on both for its tech platforms - hardware, software, services. https://www.cnn.com/... Jon Russell / @jonrussell : This Huawei-Android politics reminds me of that time when Google preventing Alibaba from launching a device that used a forked version of Android because it was “incomplete” and “weakened” the Android ecosystem https://thenextweb.com/... Horace Dediu / @asymco : Huawei is nearly the world's biggest smartphone vendor. Their exclusion from licensed Android and fork away from Google is the biggest news in smartphones since, well, Android.
