translated from Spanish: Is the Chinese company Huawei in retreat after being seen in the midst of the verbal war between Trump and China?

It is the titan of Chinese technology, number one in teams of Telecommunications and second in smartphone sales.
But after a terrible week in which many of his associates cut ties with her, and in which he found himself at the center of a verbal war between the US and China, is Huawei in full retreat?
It was on Monday that all the implications of US President Donald Trump’s decision to add Huawei to a list of companies that are banned from trading with the United States were clarified.
Google revealed that it would comply with the order, and this meant that Huawei’s access to the Android operating system would be restricted and that its future customers could not get applications like Gmail and YouTube.
Just the next day, Huawei had organized a major event in London: The launch of the latest device with its brand Honor, which has had a great success conquering a young audience for high-quality but affordable phones.
We attended the event that were journalists from all over Europe and we met a fan of Huawei who had won a contest to attend in person.
The Honor 20 smartphone range was shown a week that proved difficult for Huawei.
Kalpesh Depala explained how much he likes Honor phones and the whole Huawei brand. But even he admitted that the news about Google had worried him and that security was his main concern:
“Knowing the security breaches that can happen, especially with what happened with WhatsApp, who knows what can happen with Huawei, especially if they do not receive the new security patches?”
Then we attended the typical market launch of a smartphone, full of unbreakable descriptions of Honor 20 ‘s capabilities, especially a camera that seemed to rival those of Samsung and Apple phones, which are much more expensive.
But in a presentation that lasted an hour, two words, Google and Android, were notable for their absence.
George Zhao, Honorary President, a sub-brand of Huawei, did not mention Google or Android.
Subsequently, mobile analyst Francisco Jeronimo, of IDC, laughed when I mentioned this, but agreed that the whole thing was projecting a long shadow over Huawei’s future in the smartphone industry:
“Considering the quality of the devices and the prices, nothing has changed,” he said.
But the retailers he had talked to made it clear that if the U.S. ban was not lifted by the end of the year, they would not continue to store new Huawei products.
“Without being able to offer Google services, it will be very difficult for Huawei to sell any product outside of China,” he said.
The analyst had believed that Huawei was going to surpass Samsung in the number one position in the smartphone market, but now that seems unlikely.
In the same week, news for the Chinese firm worsened, and British chip designer Arm told his staff to stop working with Huawei.
While the lack of Google applications has a more direct impact on consumers, Emily Taylor, of the Chatham House Expert Group, says the end of collaboration with ARM is more serious in the long run.
“ARM is an important designer for almost all mobile phone designers on the planet,” he explains.
It also warns that there is a danger of fracturing in the cell-producing industry if Huawei and other Chinese companies are denied access to Western technology. “This will motivate them to try to stand alone.”
Huawei denies that it risks any country.
Meanwhile, the temperature in the verbal war between the US and China is rising.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei of lying about his company’s ties with the Communist Party of China and said that these bonds put at risk the American information that passes through his Networks.
Yes, Donald Trump’s comments showed how difficult it is to predict how this battle will unfold. First he called Huawei “very dangerous”; He then said that the dispute could be resolved if the US trade negotiations with China ended successfully.
Mobile phone buyers used to think about price and specifications when choosing a new device, now they also have to worry about geopolitics.
