No evidence on the table: the ban on Huawei is not justified

El veto Huawei It's the news of the day, of the week, who knows if it's the news of the year and even a possible turning point for the future of the company, Android and technology in general. Although for me personally, it is an unfair blow that could affect millions of people. All because the government of the Trump administration, without proving anything, decides that this is the case.

Huawei, Trump and China

Since the news broke until now, we have covered the topic counting what happened, what would be the consequences for the phones of the Chinese manufacturer and also the rest of their products that could be affected. Because Google ban you is a significant damage, but that they do it other companies such as Intel, Qualcomm or any other from the US that joins is demolition Man.

And all this for? Because alleged acts of espionage that I am not in a position to say whether or not they are true. I don't have access to data or evidence that says one thing or the other, but the fact is that the Trump administration, if it's right, hasn't proven it with evidence either. Therefore, what is happening seems unfair to me if we base ourselves on the assumptions of a government. Let's remember that other governments have also investigated but none have found signs of espionage. However, the US NSA yes and it was proven.

I do not position myself in favor of anyone without data, I only do it with the one who shows that he is right. I understand that any company, as private as they are, can make the decisions they want, but let me doubt that Google is interested in executing such an action itself.

Huawei has been and is a major player for android. Its innovation in recent years and the weight it has gained in the smartphone industry is something quantifiable. They have helped the platform a lot, just as the platform has helped them grow to the point of being able to surpass the rest of the competition and position themselves as the number one manufacturer worldwide.

In view of the data, with this veto his future is cut short. And the problem is not to stop selling phones, it is not being able to carry out other of its multiple businesses. So, for some this means saying goodbye to technological products that can be replaced by those of other brands. For me, the detriment of millions of users, both buyers and workers.

If in a similar decision, with another "because I said so", China decides to penalize any US company that manufactures in the country, has vetoed Huawei, or simply applies tariffs to other technology companies such as Apple, what will happen?

Actual damage no matter what

This situation can make you a brutal damage to Huawei. So much so that it could almost mean his demise. Because staying only with the Chinese market, despite already having products adapted to it, would not be enough. Especially since other brands would maintain their collaboration with Google and that would give them advantages over developments by Huawei, which would theoretically go slower.

I am very concerned that, without concrete evidence that we know of, a government like the United States could dictate something of this magnitude just like that. For analysts and specialists in the political intricacies between the two countries, all this is nothing more than a demonstration of power to see if they reach new trade agreements. A measure of pressure that can come to "nothing" or quite the opposite, intensify and become more hostile.

What is clear to me is that: if Huawei is certainly guilty of espionage issues, go ahead. Go something else. If it's not, then it's not fair and as a user it bothers me. Because today they already hurt Huawei, but tomorrow it could be any other company if someone decides that it's over.
