Google has revoked Huawei's license to use Android and will block the company's future devices from accessing its apps and services. The move comes after Huawei was placed on a U.S. blacklist Friday, preventing American companies from doing business with it, reports Bloomberg.Chipmakers including Intel Corp., Qualcomm Inc., Xilinx Inc. and Broadcom Inc. have told their employees they will not supply Huawei until further notice, according to people familiar with their actions. Alphabet Inc.’s Google cut off the supply of hardware and some software services to the Chinese mobile phone equipment giant, another person familiar said, asking not to be identified discussing private matters.
The U.S. has warned that Huawei networking equipment contains backdoors enabling surveillance by the Chinese government. The CIA recently determined that the company receives funding from China's National Security Commission, the People's Liberation Army and a third branch of the Chinese state intelligence network. Huawei is also accused of stealing competitors' intellectual property.
