The Trump administration banned Huawei from importing any US-made technology a few weeks ago, and the order is still in effect. A number of prominent US companies have already halted business with Huawei, pending the resolution of this conflict, with Facebook being the latest company to cut ties.

Huawei’s smartphone business is in great danger because of that, as the company may end up not being able to launch new Android phones that people would actually want to buy in the near future… if it can even make those devices in the first place. But it’s not just Huawei’s bottom line that might be hurt in the near and distant future, and Google has plenty of reasons to be worried, too.
Huawei already confirmed that it plans to launch its own Android-based operating system very soon, in light of the ban. As we’ve already explained, the ban means Huawei can’t use Google’s version of Android, which includes the Play Store and all the Google apps Android buyers want.
