If this will happen soon then Huawei's sales will definitely shoot up and can result to empty shelves because of COVID-19 effect on the manufacturing line.

I think you may have a misconception of the abilities of 5G.

Xi0Y3iZ, 27 Feb 2020in my opinion, the ban is hurting Google more than anyone, ... moreThat's just stupid and not even realistic. MONEY ROTATE! e.g. HTC, Palm, BlackBerry, Nokia, etc.
Google already has new smartphone manufacturers like TCL, Realme, IQOO, Poco, Microsoft, etc. applying for new Google's licenses that will easy make-up for Huawei's device revenue and growing in device numbers from Xiaomi, BBK, Asus, etc. will eventually make Huawei a distant memory to Google.
Google is simply playing politics here just to save face to appear to China (not Huawei) that it still has not written off Huawei because Google still has businesses and partners all through China and wants to appear its still lobbying for Huawei.
Just read the headlines, this is Google's 2nd (perhaps more) request for a license, so, it isn't like the administration is not aware of Google's request and Google pretty much know what the administration's answer is.

Competition is always good for the consumer.
It seems the POTUS's policies are back-firing, mindless to think sanction, embargoes will only hurt the opposition.
Mobile Services within China working fine without GMS.
HMS will be usable for the World much sooner than anyone predict.
I for one will be looking forward to HMS, something fresher than GMS and contrary to popular News Media propaganda promotion of Huawei-Bad, I trust Google less than Huawei with regard to Spying.
As if the US doesn't use Google and Apple to spy on everyone, even spying on themselves and then spins it around to target the strongest competitor.
As Huawei is approximately two years more advanced technologically and moving even further ahead in time, it does not make logical sense for Huawei to #steal old technology.
I see Ren Zhengfei as a person who'll remember the embarrassment of losing face when the US targeted his daughter. Targeting the business is understandable, business is business. Targeting his daughter is personal and unforgivable, it'll lead to eventual revenge, it's a Chinese #Thing.

IpsDisplay, 27 Feb 2020Only time will tell if these points you've made will age li... moreWhy yes it's true. If Huawei somehow gets devs to support their platform...
Though I base myself on the fact that many other giants of technology tried to do the same and all failed. Microsoft+Nokia is a notable example. Mighty OS seller + mighty phone seller = epic fail. Samsung failed too (Tizen), Firefox, Ubuntu and I can continue listing stuff. What does Huawei have that the others who failed don't? Even Nokia had the very robust and actually decent Maps alternative Here/Nokia Maps.
Truth to be told, I certainly hope to be wrong. I'd absolutely love more competition in the mobile world.

Anonymous, 27 Feb 2020Google is just afraid about HMS for sureNailed it! If HMS will push through Google’s (and Apple’s) monopolization per se will definitely crack bit by bit. It will be a good win for the consumers. More mobile OS options means more competition and flexibility for the consumers to choose. And it will be an encouragement (maybe a pressure) for other smartphone brands to have their own.

Lol at people who think it's because Google feels threatened by Huawei's HMS. First, money is money. Less money for any company will force them to take actions. Second, HMS is far from being an even remotely capable alternative to GMS, especially for apps like YouTube or Widevine. So it's like having a big bulldozer and thinking it might get damaged by that small pebble right on its path. Third, there's still no dev enthusiasm for HMS, which BTW are also affected by the GMS ban. Fourth, outside domestic sales, Huawei got hurt too from.the ban. A spike in domestic sales helped offset this but next quarter results might be disastrous due to you know what.
