Huawei is a multinational corporation. Bigger smart phone maker than Apple. It would be great to shut them down in the US, but "end their smartphone business" is hyperbolic.
If you read the full article, Trump's latest sanctions cut them off from virtually all of the worlds modern chipsets, essential for making their phones and 5G equipment. Paired with them being cut off from Google/Android, it means their phones will be hoplessly out of date and also won't work with the majority of apps.
Combined, the result is no one outside of China will want to buy their phones.
I imagine they'll just make their own chipsets and components. They have all the factory tooling and knowhow thanks to US companies outsourcing to China.
I went to a demo where they showed their workaround for not having Google Play... They push their own app store and browser version of Google products. It's not the best solution and will definitely hurt them in the short term but China is playing the long game. A lot of their phone tech is already superior to US companies through a combination of stealing and inventiveness. I despise the CCP but from a technical point of view they do have the jump on us.
Hopefully you're right. Either way GEOTUS is doing more than anyone else would ever do to combat the Chinese.
they probably came in their Mao pantsuits when Nixon opened China because he was so egotistically hungry to be seen as a great statesman. And they went along with it; never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
This is like 1812 when we fought the British for control of the world's supply of hemp to outfit ships with sails and rope.
