Trump's order takes a hatchet to Huawei's heart – TechCrunch

Last week, Trump signed an executive order that allowed the federal government to ban US companies to buy telecom equipment from foreign companies at their discretion.

This week, the whole damage began to feel obvious to China's fastest growing smartphone power plant, Huawei. American companies, on Trump's and the company's roads, began to turn the Chinese giant, and what they strip away will undoubtedly affect Huawei in a material way. Huawei will soon have to handle without the simple, small things that – I don't know – access to the non-open version of Android or possibly the prevailing chip architectures of modern smartphones, or Google's app store. Here are some of the games in games that can leave Huawei by the roadside. ARM. Intel, Qualcomm, Xilinx and Broadcom. Google.

Basically, the past week has removed the decades of the US smartphone technology backbone and made sure Huawei is going to make DIY its future success in these arenas. The ban was placed, officially, because the US government did not want America to be subjected to espionage, but it is also a clear step in increasing trade war tensions.

What is in the balance is more than just Huawei's imminent nutritional health, but the fact that China and the United States can start targeting each other's technological giants that steadily trade war chess moves. This week, it's Huawei, but if the perfect deal goes, Apple can be next?
