Google made a very important announcement the other day regarding the fact that its applications cannot be used in the new Huawei phone models, and even if they are installed from third-party sources, the operation could be affected. Shortly after this warning made by Google for customers who have, or want to, buy phones from Huawei, came a surprise news that tells us that the Americans would have asked the US Government for permission to resume collaboration with the Chinese.
Google would have asked again from the US Government, perhaps directly subordinated to Donald Trump, to be allowed to restart the collaboration with Huawei so that the new phones can have its applications and services. The decision that Google took is quite surprising considering that the Americans requested the same thing from the US Department of Commerce a few months ago, but it did not receive approval.
Google: SURPRISE, BREAKING News for Huawei Customers
Google until 2019, it had a very close collaboration with Huawei, which a few years ago even produced its Pixel series phones, so the sanctions imposed by the USA also affected its activity. The even bigger problem for Google is that Huawei wants to become independent with its own application store, but also with other separate services, and as it has 400 million active users only in the AppGallery, it is easy to understand why Google is pressuring the White House .
"Google has applied to the United States government for permission to offer its services to Chinese smartphone vendor Huawei."
Google for now, we only lost somewhere around 10-20 million users who would have had access to the Google Play Store due to the US sanctions, but as time goes by, the situation worsens. The hundreds of millions of Huawei customers who bought phones until May 2019 can use everything Google offers without problems, and those who do now can't do anything, but maybe Donald Trump will return to better thoughts and raise the sanctions.
Google can't do anything at the moment regarding the sanctions that Huawei has imposed, and the pressure on the White House is pretty much its only weapon, but Donald Trump is in the election campaign, and it's hard to say what will happen .
