Money talk, bs walks.
Of course "Play store will continue to work". To use the Sex Pistols lyrics: God save the queen, 'Cause tourists are money, And our figurehead, Is not what she seems.
Huawai may be 'evil' (or any other justification) but the money of the millions of Huawei phone owners are more than welcome.
System update is a money-losing function. You get people to work and collaborate with vendors, but this doesn't add to the bottom line what Google Play Store adds.
Edit: added "the money of" phone owners...
- product50 7y agoWhat is your point?
- socceroos 7y agoThat everyone is corrupt when money is involved - even if 'national security' is waived around.
- HenryBemis 7y agoThat it makes perfect sense to stop supporting those devices. The effort costs money. So if they want to put their foot down and force 'change' (and everything else in the trade-wars/political agenda), you stop spending your money on them, but you continue milking the profit from their users. This is partially correct as a responsible business stance, because in the end of the day, you support the users, who in the end of the day, are not at fault for Huawei's bad doings. And with that said, I do agree that China is in need of major democratic reform that will never come, as the autocracy (I don't want to use a harsher word). I also recognize the maladities that China has caused and is continuing to cause. This was not a pro-Chinese-gov message. This was a Google-loves-the-revenue-and-the-foothold message.
