Original title: Reuters: Google has stopped some cooperation with Huawei
According to Reuters, a source said that Google's parent company alphabet has stopped part of its cooperation with Huawei, which means that Huawei has lost all access to the Android operating system, and Huawei can only use AOSP to continue to develop new Android systems. Huawei will not be able to use other Google services such as Gmail, Google play and Youtube.
On the 15th of this month, the U.S. government listed Huawei on the regulated 'entity list', which made it very difficult for Huawei to conduct business with its U.S. suppliers. On Friday, the U.S. Department of Commerce said it would consider reducing restrictions on Huawei to 'prevent the interruption of existing network operations and equipment'.
The impact of Huawei's inclusion in the U.S. government controlled 'entity list' has not yet been fully revealed, but it is bound to have an impact on the global supply chain. Chip experts doubt whether Huawei can continue to operate without U.S. products.
According to people familiar with the matter, details are still being discussed within Google, and Huawei said it is asking lawyers to study the impact of being included in the controlled 'entity list'. However, Google will stop providing relevant technical support and proprietary applications and services to Huawei.
Huawei previously said that in the past few years, it has been preparing contingency plans to prevent this operation in the United States by developing its own technology. Huawei's technology has been applied in some of the Huawei products currently on sale. Even without Google's official support, Huawei can develop Android system through AOSP, but Google's service will disappear from Huawei's mobile phones in the future.
Analysts believe that although Google's interruption of cooperation with Huawei will have some impact on Huawei, it will have little impact on China's Huawei mobile phone users, but the European market may be greatly affected.
