Google beperkt Huawei’s gebruik van Android

May 20, 2019 - Google heeft Huawei uitgesloten van enkele updates voor het operating system Android, nadat de regering Trump de Chinese techreus had toegevoegd aan een lijst met bedrijven, waarmee Amerikaanse firma's geen zaken kunnen doen, tenzij ze daar een vergunning voor hebben.

Google allows smartphone manufacturers to use Android and its basic services for free. But transfer of hardware, software or services to Huawei or technical interaction would be restricted by the U.S. order.

That would strip Huawei phones of Google maps and other services that require direct support. That might hurt Huawei where consumers can pick other brands that carry the full suite of Google features.

The U.S. government says Chinese suppliers including Huawei and its smaller rival, ZTE Corp., pose an espionage threat because they are beholden to China's ruling Communist Party.

But American officials have presented no evidence of any Huawei equipment serving as intentional conduits for espionage by Beijing.
