JAKARTA - United States (US) President Donald Trump has extended a ban on companies in his country from cooperating with foreign manufacturers, which were blacklisted until May 2021.

In this case, the cooperation between Huawei and US technology companies is related to the 5G network and software. That's why Huawei didn't get Android updates or support from Google on some of its devices.

According to The Verge, Trump first blacklisted Huawei and ZTE in May 2019, which he later extended for the following year. This makes the US government continue to limit Huawei to get technological support from Google.

As I have said for a long time, dealing with China is a very expensive thing to do. We just made a great Trade Deal, the ink was barely dry, and the World was hit by the Plague from China. 100 Trade Deals wouldn't make up the difference - and all those innocent lives lost!

This policy certainly confuses Huawei's hopes of bringing Google apps back to its Android phones. This also prompted Huawei to create its own operating system, if in the future Google will no longer provide support for Android devices on its products.

The Mate 30 Pro cellphone is Huawei's first product that has run without access to applications from Google such as Gmail, Google Maps, Play Store to YouTube. This is of course a huge blow to Huawei, which has been one of the most popular smartphone manufacturers in the world over the last few years.

In effect, this ban stems from US suspicion that Huawei may be using its role as a telecommunications provider to spy on behalf of the Chinese government. However, the accusation has never been proven until now.

Not a few also think that the US suspects Huawei because it wants to make it a bargaining chip in a wider trade dispute between the US and China.

Had Want To Make Up

In fact, after one year of not getting along, the United States Department of Commerce (US) was reportedly about to sign a new regulation allowing US companies to cooperate with Huawei again.

The draft new rules allow US companies to participate again in developing 5G network standards. Where Huawei is one of the biggest players in terms of telecommunications technology, especially the 5G network.

Beyond the US and China trade wars. The 5G network itself is considered a major step in the development of telecommunications technology in the future. This fifth-generation network of connections aids productivity, from high-speed video transmission to autonomous technology in vehicles to industrial use.
