The trade ban has had a knock-on effect for large US companies including Google, which is losing revenue - despite Microsoft seemingly being given carte blanche to keep selling Windows to the company, as seen with the Huawei MateBook X Pro. In the UK this manifest itself in a full ban on Huawei 5G networking gear that comes into play from 2027. The background to this is that it doesn't want Huawei's well-priced and well-used network gear being rolled out and has banned Huawei from using any US technologies. The previous US administration made no secret of its distrust of basically anything Chinese and has barred US companies from dealing with Huawei - a trade ban.


The situation is not of Huawei's own making.
