Huawei will never do that, the very concept of free or open-source is absolutely alien to them. But they could develop some kind of their own Play Services, compatible with Google.

Huawei contributes to open source projects right now. I know they have been contributing to OpenStack for years and likely other open-source projects. https://www.stackalytics.com/?company=huawei&metric=commits&release=stein https://www.stackalytics.com/?company=huawei&metric=commits&...

"the very concept of free or open-source is absolutely alien to them" white people have a way of saying incredibly insulting, demeaning things about non-whites in a way that it is acceptable in common discourse. statement such as these need to be called out for what they are - biased opinions based on an irrational fear of "the chinese"

  > white people have a way of saying incredibly insulting, demeaning things about non-whites in a way that it is acceptable in common discourse How do you even know he or she is white? Why racialize a comment in this manner?

  I would not agree with the statement you've quoted either, but can you see that you've posted a comment shot through with the same attitudes that you believe tainted his comment? You've assigned a race to another poster based on your own preconceptions of the attitudes and behaviors of members of that race (kicking off your reply to snaky with "white people have a way of [...]") and lumped all members of a race together (accusing all white people of making derogatory statements regarding other races).

  Odd that you think this is about 'white people' v 'non-white people' rather than about a company's culture. I see to recall very robust discussions about Microsoft et al's position on open source without race getting dragged into it.

> Huawei will never do that, the very concept of free or open-source is absolutely alien to them. The Shenzhen ecosystem has taken the idea of 'Open' and 'Open Source' further than perhaps anywhere else in the world. Huawei the company is built on that kind of information sharing. I highly doubt it's alien to Huawei.
