Top tech firms such as Google, Intel, and Qualcomm suspend Android services to HuaWei as the Trump administration blacklists the Chinese company. HuaWei can no longer license the complete Android operating system with tech services from Google, Intel, and Qualcomm. Stock market analysts suggest that this hurdle hits half of the HuaWei smartphone shipments worldwide. Soon after President Trump issues an executive order on blacklisting HuaWei in America, Google suspends Android updates for the second biggest handset manufacturer.
U.S. microchip makers Intel and Qualcomm also cut off HuaWei. These strategic moves can cause serious ramifications for the Chinese tech titan because the new ban blocks HuaWei from Android software updates and apps that normally preload on HuaWei mobile devices sold around the world.
As the Trump administration blacklists HuaWei, this ban speeds up digital isolation for China amid Sino-U.S. trade war and economic policy uncertainty. If China and the U.S. have begun a technological cold war in recent times, the HuaWei ban can best be viewed as the dawn of a digital iron curtain. The transitory 90-day reprieve may be a tactical solution for Trump to urge the Chinese Xi administration to affirm a fair trade agreement.
