Huawei sanction, no Android anymore. All Chinese smartphone manufacturers (Xiaomi)?

As of August 2019, no "legacy" Android update will be available for Huawei. Lt. Media, according to Huawei said the security updates remain for the time being, as far as I've read.

What about Xiaomi? This is also a Chinese manufacturer.

Dr

Could come yet.

I'm more likely to assume that Google will use some loophole and Huawei will continue to send updates.

The damage to Google would certainly be higher in the long run than for Huawei.

That has nothing to do with it, whether Chinese or not. Trump is just afraid that the Chinese flood the Ami market. And since Xiaomi is not even as strongly represented there as Huawei, nothing will happen to them either.

Te

That would make Google punishable. Why should they do that, they do not have much of it.

Dr

That's why I wrote "loophole". And it's the market share that makes up the value of Google (or Alphabet). Otherwise, it should break significantly in the medium term. Not only Chinese manufacturers will jump off. I could also imagine that Samsung or Sony as soon have their own operating systems at the start.

Te

Nonsense. That would cost billions just not worth it

Dr

Your opinion. Mine is different. Let's wait for it.

Te

Android is such a top system as no one will build his own. And why should Google suddenly stop working with the others?

Dr

Why should the others still work with Google, when they become so insecure cantonists, who dance to the whim of a madman? Who says that Trump will not have Samsung on the Kieker at some point?

Te

Because the sanctions have nothing to do with Android. Trump is in control of the Ami networks, which mostly has Huawei. Trum Google will probably hardly go broke XD

Ha

Android is open source and Huawei already has an Android-based system, so it would not be impossible in the long term that all Chinese companies switch to it.

So

Huawei is used by the US as a lever in the trade dispute between the US and China. If no deal is made, it will hit Xiomi and others with sanctions. The US has put the gun on China's chest.
