Huawei. Despite all the announcements that suggested that the Chinese would soon receive some goodwill from the Americans, in reality this is not happening, and things will go from bad to worse for them. The US has decided not to lift the sanctions imposed against Huawei, despite Donald Trump's claims, but instead will license American companies willing to sell products to the Chinese.
Huawei. Although the US government makes this concession, the licenses will be offered to companies only under certain conditions, so not every company that wants to see something to the Chinese will receive a license to do so. Nobody knows for now what kind of restrictions remain for the licensing of companies that want to collaborate with those from Huawei, so it is not known which of the products that cannot be bought now, will be able to be bought in the future.
Huawei. Very BAD news for Telephone Customers
Huawei. Basically, Donald Trump's promise is quite empty, and this is because the sanctions against the Chinese have not been lifted, and the licensing that will be done is also subject to quite drastic checks. Basically, Huawei's partners will have to beg the American government to allow them to sell their products to the Chinese, which could generate even more frustration for these companies.
"US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said that his department "will issue licenses where there is no threat to US national security." However, he clarified that "Huawei itself remains on the Entity List, and the announcement does not change the scope of items requiring licenses."
Huawei. We don't know yet if Google will be able to license Android for the Chinese, or if ARM will be able to allow them to use their architecture for the processors implemented in phones. Nobody knows anything because the US government has not established a series of clear rules regarding what American companies can do in the commercial relations they want to have with Huawei, so the confusion is still far from disappearing.
Huawei. Unfortunately for everyone, things will not be resolved soon, and this is because Donald Trump has no intention of lifting the sanctions completely, and the trade agreement with China will not be signed soon.
