Huawei has been all over the news recently. Huawei is a very large Chinese telecommunications company, which provides network infrastructure to a great deal of Europe and Asia, and to rural regions of the U.S. If you've been wondering what all of the current fuss is about, here is the situation in a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/20/tech/huawei-us/index.html" target="_blank">nutshell</a>: Huawei has been accused of working directly with the Chinese government (to assist with the creation of surveillance states), of attempting to circumvent U.S. sanctions on Iran, and of allegedly stealing trade secrets from T-Mobile. As a result, things here in the U.S. have gotten messy, especially considering the U.S.-China trade war now underway. Not to mention the fact that Huawei is also a large provider of 5G infrastructure--and 5G is something the U.S. desperately wants to roll out quickly.
<br><br>
In retaliation for these alleged actions, the Trump administration declared a <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/05/15/president-trump-national-emergency-for-telecom-networks/" target="_blank">national emergency</a> and has banned suppliers nationwide from selling components to Huawei. In another huge blow, Google has <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/20/tech/huawei-google-android/index.html" target="_blank">revoked access</a> to many Android apps from Huawei phones. Despite the significant size of the company, analysts wonder if things from Huawei will get any better, or if it's a sinking ship.

If one isn't reached, Trump's ban and the severing of partnerships from its many hardware and software partners could cripple Huawei for years to come and potentially force it to change its operations. Perhaps by designing and building all of its own hardware and software instead of relying on others, but that would take years and set it back for just as many. "</li>
