Google, Intel, Qualcomm forced to stop all HW+SW business with Huawei
partial extraction from: source
Google’s actions come after the U.S. Commerce Department’s announcement on Wednesday, which placed Huawei and some 68 affiliates on a so-called Entity List, a trade blacklist, following an executive order signed by U.S. President Trump.
This is the same list that ZTE was added to and subsequently removed from, over the course of 2018, which caused it massive disruption. Huawei is now effectively forbidden from buying parts and components from U.S. companies without U.S. government approval – which includes Android.
If the story is accurate, this would be a massive blow to Huawei.
One of Huawei’s arms, its HiSilicon chip division, had stated it has “long been ready” for any ban, while Huawei has previously mentioned it has been preparing for six years or more for any ban of Android. Honor, a sub-brand of Huawei, had been set to launch the Honor 20 on Tuesday, May 21, in London — it’s unclear what will now happen. (Update: As of May 20, 2019 an Honor representative has said “nothing has changed” and that the launch will go ahead as planned.)
