              [deleted post]So your saying Samsung and iPhone don't have the same scheme? You better grow up dude. Your opinion come up with the things that you have read but you don't know the real information.

                So, everyone became a political expert on China even though that they have never set foot in China or understood Chinese or known anything about China that isn’t hear or watch from some YouTube videos?

                    Donbenie, 06 Feb 2020And you trust Apple,Facebook, Google and co,just because? Have ANY of them dialed up the National Guard or FBI to go up to someone's house and arrest them for sharing a meme or TikTok that made fun of DJT or GOP members (like what has happened so many times in China), though?

                    Because that's where the big difference lies between the US companies and the Chinese companies...

                      the way usa claims as a national secruity thread and ban huawei without have any proofs is not nice for any other mobile companies too.
                      on the other day, jjust recently a few days back when facebook misused cx's personal data then in their case they ended up by just paying fine and payting fine that too not to the ppl whose data was was misused but to government -_-

                      i beleive its a good decision by all other mobile gaints to help huawei because in this way they are helping themselves too by not being completely depending or google becasue if the same thing happens with any other company then they might need too face great great losses in their business -_-

                      idc if huwei spy on us or not but ik facebook google apple does do that and they also sells out our personal data for advertising purpose or whatsoever... and what's the guarantee that those 3rd party ppl will sell those data to some1 eles ? of if those same party are evil or good...:\

                              If this works and somehow Samsung is brave enough to leave Google also, Google will be doomed.
                              Chinese phone and Samsung are responsible for 90% Android phones sold in the market, and if Samsung joined this alliance but using Tizen, google is a bye bye.

                              You are not dumb Samsung, learn from Nokia when every other manufacturers went for Android and Nokia owned Symbian for themselves, look at them now.

                              Leave Google when possible.

                                        Lol and people compare Huawei's ambitions to Microsoft or Samsung's failure with windows and tizen

                                        This is a national effort

                                        This is the first time a rival modern OS is being born under international pressure with the implications of other Chinese OEMs potentially facing the same fate

                                        It's not even comparable but people just want to be lazy thinkers "Microsoft tries and failed" lol what a joke

                                        Read the fine print of this endeavour
