Future of Huawei / Android OS?

Tim Danks, Huawei vice-president of risk management and partner relations, said: “We acknowledge President Trump’s comments related to Huawei over the weekend and will wait for guidance from the Department of Commerce but have nothing further to add at this time.”

Despite the fluctuating tensions between the Shenzhen, China-based company and the US – Huawei Canada has continued to roll out a 30-second TV ad that showcases its commitment to Canada and the usability and possibilities that come with its cutting-edge consumer technology.
