What is scary about this issue is how dependent we all are from a single company...
@@MrWhymedude but if there is only one company controlling a specific market, they can possibly have a monopoly which isn't really good
@@MrWhymedude not only that, but if there is only one company, there will be less innovation because there is less competition

A year from this, I still find it weird that they singled out Huawei right after they beat Apple in the market sales and consumer preference.

On street level, it's simply a case of banning consumer choice, is this democratic?
It's decidedly autocratic. Also hampering a company that has managed to compete with two of America's flagship companies all while bleating on (so hypocritically I might add) about being spyware is laughable.
In India banning chinese stuff is democratic because it goes with the popular opinion. They didn't even ask the government ti go f*ck itself after banning pubg (mobile) by tenecent which is somehow related to China despite the fact that pubg made it pretty big in India and even concerns were raised over pubg addiction among children which was raised as a national issue in the past. All this in the name of national security but the real reason ia quote obvious. Pandering to nationalist sentiments for votes. What kind of stupid info will a shooting game steal from carefree players.
National security isn’t concerned with your measly consumer needs.
Whether anyone likes it or not, one has to admit that Chinese tech companies being in the mobile device market has made feature phones extremely affordable to anyone and everyone. When the Chinese levelled up their tech game, the entire world felt that, particularly Apple and Samsung who then decided to put flagship features into budget phones. So I'm grateful to Huawei and the rest of the Chinese tech manufacturers for doing that, if it weren't for them I'd never be enjoying the rich online content like I am doing now. Moving from Samsung to Xiaomi was the best decision ever for me.
"one has to admit that Chinese tech companies being in the mobile device market has made feature phones extremely affordable to anyone and everyone" because they don't do much R&D due to stealing tech and using cheap labour.

My dad’s Huawei lasted 5 years before he had to charge the battery daily. He’s so happy with it that he bought a P40. It meets all his current and possible future needs.
I have used Huawei (Honor) phones for 6 years now...ill never buy a phone from a brand that keeps pushing the prices up, (Apple, Samsung)
My Huawei has last for 4 years now, and it was a cheap phone! I've only have to change the battery once and its running smooth mostly considering. The news that Google is not available is really sad news to me!
Every government: Spies
Every government: Hey stop spying on us
Remember this....
If you can’t beat them... Ban them
Just wait, by banning those asian companies will make them to create their own software. Consequently, less customers for Americans companies but their revenue will also go down
Remember only the facts: They and all Chinese smart phone companies have stolen everything from American (and Canadian, Korean, European, etc) companies. American companies have never stolen any smartphone technologies (or any other Technologies from China). We invented the telegraph, telephone, two way wireless radio communications, the semiconductor, digital communications/digital transceiver, the pager, cell phone, the smart phone, and millions of other similar innovations. Huawei has lost every court case and criminal indictment ever brought against them. They have been caught red-handed numerous times stealing both intellectual property and actual hardware products. Apple, Google, Qualcomm, nor any other company is related to (in any way) the American government or U.S. Military also, so that clearly illustrates that concern and problem.

Under such a severe and extreme blockade by the United States, Huawei has unveiled a new mobile phone with its own 5g chip and operating system, not one phone, but three. At the moment they look a lot more attractive than the iphone 15, on September 25th there will be a new product launch in Huawei, and I hear there will be other new cell phones. This is incredible! The United States has tried its best but has not been able to stop Huawei, which is just a Chinese private company, the failure of the United States' efforts to prevent China's continued development in recent years is not so surprising.

Few years later Harmony os dropped 😂😂😂
From the perspective of a customer, I feel like I'm choosing which company to spy on me, and it doesn't feel good at all.....
If Huawei manages to recover without using any USA goods, this will be like the end of US diminance in the Hi-tech industry
If Huawei manages to make their own OS, and people actually switch to it it does become a huge game changer.
I don’t see how those 2 things correlate? So if Huawei can return to where it once already was that means China has better tech that the US over all? That doesn’t make sense.
Couple of errors in the video:
#1: EXISTING phones will continue to receive updates beyond the 90 days’ extension. This is because the ban applies to NEW devices.
#2: ZTE was found guilty in a court of law of wrongdoing. They fired employees and accepted US oversight as part of the negotiations to resume operations. Huawei has never been found guilty of any wrongdoing. The distance between the two companies is significant.
Existing phones are allowed to get updates, but will not because huawei is expected to abandon the old phones completely to try and develop new ones that won’t have android. What he is saying is that huawei is not going to put forth the money and effort pointlessly to keep the android os up to date with future os updates because it won’t be beneficial for their company.
No, Huawei's CFO I believe is in Canada under house arrest ready to be sent to the US because they violated sanctions. Canada is having a TON of pressure from China, including arrests and possible show trials for canadians in china.
Brindyn Schultz I hear what you’re saying but you misunderstood me. For those existing phones TODAY with Android, they will continue to receive updates AFTER the 90 day extension provided by the US gov. In his video he says the updates will stop. Again, this is about phones already out there with Android in them, not whatever the future holds for new phones
Rasmy Samy she’s accused of a crime. So was Trump about collusion with Russia so there you have it. Until proven otherwise everyone is inocent
