Things have not been going well for Huawei after the United States proved that the technology firm had close ties with China's government and collected various data for it around the world.
The Chinese compromised tech giant has encountered another obstacle in its path - countries across the world are cutting ties with the company. Nobody wants to deal with spies. Following the US, the United Kingdom shut its doors for Huawei. Britain’s actions became a blow for the company as it was supposed to supply equipment for the UK’s 5G network. The government's decision was declared by Oliver Dowden, Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport. According to British authorities, Huawei's further participation in building 5G infrastructure in the UK can put British business and the safety of users at risk. Given the fact that Huawei has been caught multiple times giving personal data access to Chinese intelligence, such an attitude towards the telecom company is not surprising. American residents have already been banned from cooperating with Huawei and the UK has followed the lead. Most likely, other US allies will also break their relations with the company.
Meanwhile, Huawei is actively engaged in developing its own software which can replace Google alternatives. Thus, the upcoming version of EMUI may be based not on the Android operating system, but on HarmonyOS, designed by Huawei.
