Seeing how the events are happening, it seems that Trump is killing Huawei in the same way that Thanos spread terror in Infinity War: with a simple click. The highest authority in the United States has been determined to put an end to the Chinese company, and it has sufficed to gather the power of the main resource companies in the country to almost make Chinese disappear. Huawei in a matter of days.
Trump, Thanos and Huawei
As if it were Thanos himself, Trump decided that Huawei was not worthy of operating in the United States, and therefore had to disappear. The president first prohibited the brand from reaching the US market (just as it was going to announce a gigantic agreement with AT&T at CES in 2018), prohibiting the sale of any terminal and the use of its telecommunications devices within the government. The reason? suspicions aboutAlleged collaborations between Huawei and the Chinese government that would allow the latter to spy on the movements of Americans through telecommunications networks, suspicions that, by the way, today have not been shown yet.

Due to this alert, the president decided to stop the commercial operations of the brand with American companies, relying on a 1977 law that allows the president to regulate trade whenever there is a national emergency. The government included it on a blacklist of banned companies, a document that lists those companies that are prohibited from buying, selling or transferring US technology because they pose a danger to national security. And this is where the real begins. Endgame Huawei.
The six Infinity Stones against Huawei
We continue with the parallelism of the end of the Phase 4 of the Marvel Universe, since almost without wanting it, Trump has managed to bring together six companies that have knocked out Huawei to the point of leaving it on the ropes. These are:
Since Reuters anticipated that Google was going to cancel all agreements and licenses signed with Huawei, the world on the Internet began to tremble, not to mention Huawei itself. Reasons were not lacking. Huawei could be imminently without an operating system, and we only had to wait a few hours for the facts to be confirmed.
The Chinese brand you will lose all google licenses and will be left exclusively with access to the version of Android with a free license (AOSP), a version that any manufacturer can freely install on their devices and that lacks the official Google applications (Gmail, Play Store, Maps...), the which require the payment of their licenses, precisely what they have prohibited Huawei from doing. Android without Google apps? That doesn't look good.
With this scenario, the manufacturer has no choice but to invent its own operating system, a solution that seems to have already been in mind and that, although it is under development, still has a long way to go to be 100% functional. It is said that his name will be HongMeng OS, it could be ready by the end of the year and it would have no problem working with the applications that currently run on Android.
ARM
With the OS issue up in the air, the brand had at least the hardware branch under control, as its processors are made in its own HiSilicon factory. However, tranquility reigned for quite a short time, since ARM announced that it would cancel all plans with Huawei due to the measures taken by the United States.
ARM is a company that is based in the United Kingdom, belongs to the Japanese giant Softbank and has little to do with the list of American companies forced by the government, however, it has succumbed. In statements by the company itself, the design of its processors includes technology developed in the United States, so, with the idea of avoiding future problems, they have preferred to cancel and look the other way.
How does this affect Huawei? Well, in the worst possible way, since the branch that seemed to have control, that of the Kirin processors, completely collapses as it is based on ARM designs. Without the architecture designs of their processors, Huawei can't make processors, and therefore cannot give life to future devices.
Intel and Qualcomm
Another of the big American technology brands that collaborated with Huawei were Intel and Qualcomm. These processor manufacturers supply their CPUs to the brand, especially Intel, which gives life to a branch that has been gaining a lot of popularity in the market lately. We are talking about the Matebooks, laptops with Windows 10 that offer an extremely compact design with very complete features that users liked a lot.
Without Intel's support, Matebook they remain without brain, therefore, it is a dead product that must find a new ally to get ahead. In addition to the Matebooks, internally we imagine that Huawei will use Intel processors for its servers, controllers, and internal hardware in general, so the operational structure of the brand would also be affected.

micron Technology
No processors, no operating system... and no memories. Micron is one of those in charge of supplying flash memory to Huawei to include them in their phones and portable devices. Without it, there is no storage medium to run the operating system, so it's one more key element that disappears in this complicated puzzle.
Skyworks and Qorvo
These are the most popular brands on the market responsible for the development of 3G and LTE network connection modules that allow the Huawei P30 and other models of the brand to access the different networks available around the globe. Without these modules, Huawei would have to develop a global solution that allows its devices to continue to be used beyond China, since each country uses a different band.
Corning
This is possibly one of the elements that does the least damage to the brand, but also disrupts Huawei's plans. The creator of Gorilla Glass is in charge of supplying the protective glass for the Huawei P30 screen, in the same way that it does with other models in the Huawei catalog. The most immediate solution is to opt for the services of Asahi Glass, a Japanese company that creates another glass widely used in the industry, Dragontrail, also present in Samsung models and, recently, in the Pixel 3a.
Huawei's future fades
With this panorama, the Trump government has managed to do just what it proposed, completely annul Huawei by canceling its relations with companies that, as is being verified, were vital to its activity. The response of brands in the United States has generated such an impact that the government itself has given Huawei a 90-day extension so that operators and manufacturers can take short-term measures to guarantee the security and user experience for customers. customers with Huawei equipment.
This extension has not sat well with Huawei, which has not hesitated to reject it, claiming that they managed quite well for themselves. In any case, Google has preferred to accept the 90 days by transmitting a message of tranquility and ensuring that its main priority is to keep all phones updated. At least for the next 90 days, sure. What will happen next? That's what everyone wonders.
What happens after the snap?
When those 90 days of extension are over, Huawei will be totally adrift, and the updates of its devices will be completely on its account, for example, not being able to update its devices to Android Q. More than half of the core of the company will have disappeared, so we will have to see how the brand recovers after such a hard blow as the one it has received in the last few hours.
The worst thing is that the user base also disappears as the hours go by as they are registering thousands of daily returns on Amazon and a loud drop in sales of department stores such as El Corte Inglés or other distributors demonstrate the loss of confidence that currently reigns in the market.
