Ah neh goes everywhere failures follow them... fake cannot he real....
A lot of people misunderstanding the case. I try to answer from a technical point of view as our company produces mobile apps, apart from telecom hardware and services.

- Android is open source and not owned by Google. What Google has is the rights on their own apps, namely the play store and maps. Android is produced by the community and Huawei employees happened to be one of the major groups doing the coding, and by the community agreement, Huawei employees, the contributors, will get full codes. Unless Google want to buy back all “copyrights” from all contributors, of which I don’t think they have enough $$.
- Google Play Store can be side loaded after purchasing any phone without Google preinstalled Just like today I can go to SZ and buy a Xiaomi domestic version, and load Google Play Store and Google Map myself. The EULA (end user license agreement) is between me (the user) and Google, not he hardware manufacturer.
- The manufacturer needs a license to preload Google, that’s all.
- There is, theoretically, a way for Google to ban Huawei hardware from using Google Play Services by blacklisting the IMEIs but do they have the database? Who own the database and who decide if to pass them the database of all phones manufactured in China? Practically this cannot be done.
- Even if Huawei wants to preinstall HarmonyOS into Mate30 I will still buy it, as I can load all android apps, including the play store onto it. Our lab in SZ has tested that perfectly possible.
- So the ban is for weakening customer confidence, not truly a technical barrier for Huawei phones to run and operate Android OS and Apps.
