NEW YORK—Google has suspended business with Huawei that requires the transfer of hardware, software, and technical services except those publicly available via open source licensing, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on May 19, in a blow to the Chinese technology company that the U.S. government has sought to blacklist around the world.
Holders of current Huawei smartphones with Google apps, however, will continue to be able to use and download app updates provided by Google, a Google spokesperson said, confirming earlier reporting by Reuters.
