                @PeppaCat: did you read THAT "permanent license" contract in details?

                There are many ways that a contract can be terminated… for example, the law enforcement by the government.

              @bnh: Kirin based on ARM licensed tech

              People really believe they developed their own processor.

            • @dcep: Wasn't ARM bought out by SoftBank which is Japanese? Operationally a lot of it is based in UK

          • @bnh: All Huawei's chips including Kirin are manufactured by semiconductor foundries(mostly by Taiwanese TSMC), I think they soon will join the ban. Huawei is doomed.

          They will be fine sooner or later.

            @OzSikh: Don’t need 10yrs. As soon as dt got kicked out of Whitehouse, these American companies will beg for cooperation.

            But Chinese companies won’t just sit there and wait for that day to come. They have been developing their own techniques. Many brilliant people know very clearly that it’s too late to stop China. There is no winner in the trade war, not China, definitely not USA either. Sadly there are always some brainless bogans cheering for their American masters.

        Huawei will definitely survive one way or another because they are NOT a private organisation. You are tripping if you really believe there is such a thing called free market in mainland China.

              @MadMaxBargainRoad: Yes but if you knew more about Western politics like Australia you'd realise there is a lot of corporate welfare behind the scenes. Fox was given $30+ million by the Australian government for no apparent reason. NBN was butchered for corporate interests by the Libs too. Transurban gets contracts left right and centre at the cost of taxpayers.

              To say that it is a free market here is a bit disingenuous as it is quite obvious some companies benefit from our "free market" much more than others. Australia is great for many things but it definitely ain't perfect. To attack others which point it out just shows how childish you are.

          Chinese market and the allies (yes, China has allies) should be enough to reach economies of scale.

          • @berry580: If they indeed have their own tech to support it. However, China hasn't grown out from the copycat pattern like Japan and Korea; or they may never be able to if the government keep brainwashing people into believing mother China is a already a tech giant.

            • +3

              @MadMaxBargainRoad: Well China is an extremely large country with many different players. Huawei and DJI are undoubtedly market leaders in the fields of 5G and drones respectively. Facebook copies Wechat by introducing more functions as Wechat is all encompassing.

              China may not be a leader in many fields but they are growing faster technology wise than what many Westerns believe. The money that goes into R&D is on par if not higher than the West. They adopt new technologies faster than we can fathom as their leaders are actually open to technology. It is hard to explain in a short post but I can say unequivocally that your opinion is uninformed.

          • @berry580: I am curious, who are China's allies? and wat's the buying power of these allies

            • @Sydney11: They don't have as many allies as Western countries but they have many economic ties which gives them soft power. They're closest relationship would probably be with Pakistan.

              That said, the BRI provides them with a lot of economic relationships all along the Middle East, Africa and Europe.

      • China didn't ban all Apps/platforms from US, only those not docile.† Again, U.S. didn't ban all Chinese companies, only those not docile. The escalation means both lords demand more obedience, and our world is a bit more totalism. Don't side with a totalism lord.

          Chinese Government didn't ban Google.

          Think about if Google can't do thing like what they normal did, that is the same as ban. So that is why they pulled out.

        • +14

          Fun fact: Most Google services were blocked in China through a combination of legislation enforced by the Chinese Government, and technologies implemented by the Chinese Government that severely regulated internet usage, thereby effectively crippling Google.

          Uh, Jesus Christ, reading this sort of stuff will actually make you dumber. No, it’s nothing like that. Stop desperately trying to over simplify the situation, it’s far more complex than your fast food analogy, and until you acknowledge the complexity of the situation, you will not begin to understand it.

          Edit - the fact that you upvoted a comment suggesting that the Chinese Government had absolutely nothing to do with Google exiting the Chinese market says a lot.

        if the ban continues, Huawei will not pack Google apps and service framework in newer models. However, contents that can be accessed as a public resource are not included. That means Huawei, in theory, should be able to add just one simple step during the system initialisation and give users an option to install those Google apps and the most importantly the framework. I don't know if you have ever done it yourself, but it really just takes a few minutes (3 mins, at most) to install all those components to make Google services running. Not to mention this was just one resolution I can think of as an outsider.

      • On the other hand Huawei already has China's ecosystem which does not depend on iOS/Android. If they could market these apps for International market, it is really not hard to see people especially the younger generation to switch. A notable example on this would be TikTok.

        Very interesting times we live in.

      • Agreed, Chinese manufacturers will find it hard to break into Western markets. That said, they could dominate new emerging markets like South America, Africa and the Middle East if they put their effort into it.

    • +2

      Sure. That's how China got its reputation for being an innovative country.

    • hmm chinese app store …. does it come with mandarin lessons for non chinese people …..

      it’s all about apps, and the playstore and apple app store is what sells phones outside of china.

      huawei would need to get app developers onboard ….good luck.

      • The app store itself is a bad concept. Back in the 90s, it would have been done with a protocol like DNS, so each app can publish their own stuff and sign their code cryptographically. It should be about if you trust the app, not if you trust the path (appstore) to get it.

  • Sorry not worth it. I can easily see unsecure devices being banned in various organisations.

    • if Huawei is really that insecure, then why lots of countries, especially European countries, still trust Huawei?

      • -1

        Because Huawei has Chinese Government backing. Have you seen the discreet investments by the Chinese government in those countries.I think China had invested more than 35 billion Euro in the EU.

        • +4

          Government backing exists for a number of large global companies including Apple, Google and Microsoft by the US government in forms of tax breaks or subsidies. What are you trying to imply? Chinese should not be trusted because they are getting too economically powerful?

          • @bchliu: Nothing to do with economic power. It has been proven that Huawei is far more aligned with the Chinese government than any of those companies you mentioned in regards to the US. This extends beyond mere tax breaks and subsidies and more to do with direct political influence.

            • +1

              @shellshocked: The US does the same with companies such as Boeing and the EU with Airbus. China is definitely not alone in this and I highly doubt you of all people would know remotely anything about what Huawei, Boeing or Airbus do behind the scenes let alone their ties with their respective governments.

    • All non Huawei phones are being banned in Chinese companies

  • +3

    because US have no way to monitor the people using Huawei, cause they are not US company, and too many people using product from this non-US company.

    Think about iPhone and Samsung user, yeah, looks secure enough, but Apple is US company, and Samsung is US funded company, and US can easily spy on it.

    if Huawei is really that insecure, then why lots of countries, especially European countries, still trust Huawei?

    that's why US don't like Huawei at all, cause they have no way to get in there and get what they want.

      Cisco's devices have been found about 10 back doors over the years in Europe. None has been reported from Huawei's devices. Google about this story if you are really looking for the truth. BTW, if Huawei's devices are insecure, why does USA have to resort to threaten all sorts of things for European countries to ban it?

      It's just another Alstom story engineered by USA goverment to get rid of Huawei.

      Huawei's only sin is they have grown too big, too out of control of USA government.

      • Huawei's only sin is they have grown too big, too out of control of USA government.

        If they really developed everything by themselves, no need for them to worry but the true they are base on others tech to develop on.

        But they kept saying how good they are, how high tech they are blah blah blah but they are not.
