Huawei ban - winners and losers

20 May 2019
This affects more than just Huawei - consumers, Android, Google, even competitors will have to deal with the fallout from this.

Funny I see western (and Indian) kids here defending Huawei
TRUTH
1) Huawei has just a founder. No shareholders (claim their employees are the owners), not publicly listed, etc.
2) Huawei has come up with designs and inventions in the past (not in the last 2 years) immediately they were announced by rivals and Lg, Samsung, apple Sony etc. Magic?
3) Their finance and accounting in cloudy
4) Huawei contracts in supplying network equipments in African and some Asian countries was backed by the Chinese government.
Pls, let's not pretend Huawei is not backed by the Chinese Government/military.
Note:
#banning Huawei will not benefit Apple that much but mostly Samsung and other Android manufacturers. Also European network equipment manufacturers like Nokia and Ericsson.
# BBK, Xiaomi, Oneplus and even ZTE may not face such
radical sanctions because they the financial consequences taking orders from the regime since they are private companies
**CONCLUSION**
-Huawei is funded and technically supported by the Communist party and hence pose a security risc to countries competing with China.
--- Why ban them now?. The push Beijing into negotiation positions that will favour the US. I.e Beijing should stop stealing US intellectual properties and giving to Chinese companies with Huawei being the leading Chinese tech firm, it is obviously going to be the target.
Is there prove that Huawei is stealing IP or spying for Beijing?. There is very little. But if you think they have not been doing that indirectly or will disobey Beijing's orders, you must be very naive

    I really hope Huawei use their own OS ....

                It seems i can get P30 Pro at cheaper price now :)

                  If its true its clearly the end for huawei, because they can’t make an os capable to compete with android or ios. An os without fortnite pubg whatsapp snapchat etc can’t stand a chance and i doubt these developpers will develop for huaweis new os. Sad and ridiculous

But if it happens between two countries with such a large nuclear arsenal the war would last only a few hours. Most likely they would eliminate each other with thousands of nuclear missiles flying through the world. Even if one manages to annihilate the other and erase it from the map a bit earlier as all those weapons are scheduled to be launched if there are equal threats in the air. So before even the initial impacts all the skies around the world will be covered by them.

                                  And then, of course, the consequences for the rest of the world from radioactive fallout, global pollution, etc., would be terrible. That is why they are dissuasive but if they are used, it is like that.

                                  And both have many, of course. The reserves of armaments have always been oscillating according to the elimination of the old ones with treaties of disarmament as an excuse and then rearmament according to the president of the day.
