Since the US administration’s blacklisting of Huawei along with 70 other Chinese entities, things haven’t really been rosy between Huawei and Google, and many other US tech firms. Google had to back off and restrict the Android updates on the Huawei devices after the ban, which has the potential to rattle Huawei. It still has exemptions till 19 August, after which the ban will come into effect.
