Huawei on Its Way to Create ‘Killer’ of Google’s Gmail and YouTube Services Amid US Crackdown
01:15 25.12.2019

In May, the US blacklisted Huawei from doing business with American companies, prompting China’s tech giant to look for an alternative suite of media services which are currently offered by the US’ Google.

China’s Huawei has started engaging with Indian developers as part of its strategy to come up with an alternative to Google Media Services (GMS) amid the ongoing US ban, which prohibited the tech giant from working with American companies earlier this year.

Huawei and Honor India’s CEO Charles Peng told the Economic Times that the company was negotiating with Indian developers of around 150 apps, who will potentially get on board with a new Huawei Media Services (HMS) initiative, thus allowing local mobile users an alternative to Google’s Gmail, YouTube, Navigation, Google Drive and Maps.

“We have our own HMS and are trying to build a mobile ecosystem. Most of the key apps such as navigation, payments, gaming and messaging will be ready soon”, Peng told the Economic Times.“Consumers won't see a difference between GMS and HMS. We are focusing on how to work with developers to offer a good customer experience. It is a challenge that we are trying to address.”
Huawei is also offering an incentive of up to $17,000 to Indian developers who will be willing to integrate with HMS. The money will be taken from the tech giant’s $1-billion global fund that was announced earlier this year as part of a strategy to develop a set of mobile services similar to Google. It is believed that European developers will also eventually be invited to join Huawei’s initiative.

“Huawei HQ is in touch with China developers and the India developer base will help us in India as well as regions like Europe. In every country, we will focus on bringing top 100-150 apps to customers through HMS”, Peng revealed.
Chinese electronics company Oppo is also allocating $143 million in 2020 to global developers as part of its ColorOS operating system.

No More Google For Huawei?
Huawei has recently confirmed that its latest Mate 30 Pro smartphone will come without Google services, including Google Play Store, as its GMS licence was dropped following the US ban, although consumers of older Huawei phones will still continue to enjoy Google apps on their devices. However, thousands of apps have already been reportedly integrated with Huawei’s HMS alternative.

In August, Huawei also unveiled its Harmony operating system, which is expected to serve as an alternative to Google’s Android, but currently is only featured on the company’s TV brands - Vision, Honor Vision, and Honor Vision Pro. According to reports, Huawei is not currently planning to release future gadgets running on Harmony.

Washington blacklisted Huawei and 68 of its subsidiaries from doing business with American companies in May this year, citing the company’s alleged illegal surveillance practices on behalf of China’s Communist party and security concerns related to this. The allegations have been repeatedly denied by Huawei and Chinese officials.

What has CCP to do with Huawei, and why are you saying that there is no rule of law in China ?
Ask Soleimani, Snowden and Assange about rule of law in US empire of evil.

It's better to have Huawei as an alternative than having no alternatives at all.

Having an alternative is good. I’m all for it. More the better. Having an alternative by a totalitarian Communist dictatorship is a tool for the CCP to expand control beyond its borders. To spread its oppression. They use tech companies to control their own people and people around the world. In the US, many times judges have gone against the US government.

China has no rule of law. Communist countries don’t believe in rule of law or independent judiciary. The only thing that matters is the rule of the Party. Just ask the people the CCP have arrested and have denied their right to a lawyer. In the US, even terrorists get access to a lawyer.

Huawei is the corporate arm of the CCP’s intelligence agency the MSS. It’s a state-run company masquerading as a private company. In CCP China, there is no such thing as a private company. It’s a Communist dictatorship.

I would much rather have alternatives from free and Democratic countries with rule of law and independent judiciary. If China had these, I would gladly welcome a Chinese alternative. The reality is that China don’t have these.

If you were arrested, you would much rather be in the US judicial system than the CCP’s judicial system.

Why just start now? Didn't China ban Google and its apps since 2011s? Are you telling me phone sold in China since that time still carry google service that were not used?

China absolutely MUST offer an alternative to YouTube, gmail, Facebook & Twitter IN ENGLISH so that the true picture of the global situation can be presented and spread poom the social media. Right now, there social media is dominated exclusively by american companies which opens the doors for censorship towards anyone who tries to expose the nefarious western designs.

There are many former corrupt officials and super rich people in China's prisons. In America, prisons are full of black and poor people. Super rich people or government officals are almost immune to the law. And these people are not law obeyers. They have more chances than ordinary people to commit crimes. It's rule of money.
