A source said the Financial Times , Google's idea is to lose Google service is very important security service Google Play Protect will make the users face a huge security risk, which ultimately will bring the problem the Americans themselves. Google Play Protect is a Google application security software that can automatically scan for malicious software, viruses and security threats, so downloading from the Google Play application security generally will be higher.

Google is prohibited to do business with Huawei, although the short term everything is not what changes, software updates or still available, but in the long run, this means that Google will not provide any service on Huawei's mobile phone, which includes a very important Google Play Protect. The Financial Times did not explicitly listed in Google's specific arguments, but The Verge that this is actually very good understanding, and to the logic of things might look like this:

The first step: Huawei launched a new version of Android, create a version no longer includes Google services, including Google Play Protect.

Step two: those with Huawei's mobile phone sales worldwide forked version of Android, but because of the loss Google Play Protect, they are not so safe and easy to be hacked.

The third step: in the United States was sending sensitive information is being used to unknowingly One was black Huawei cell phone. No matter how secure encryption end to end, if there is a direct malicious software on the phone, it is possible to see the information sent to it.

Step four: the National Security Agency compromise.

作为在美国市场占比不小的 Android 手机供应商,华为手机的安全问题会影响到众多美国人,甚至美国国家安全。而至于华为会非常快地推出一个完全脱离 Android 的操作系统的消息,The Verge 表示:“从某种程度上说,华为在全球范围内排名第一或最畅销手机,如果它突然急于创建自己的操作系统,事情会很快变得混乱。”

谷歌为华为手机提供更新的临时许可将于 8 月 19 日到期,谷歌需要在此之前与华为谈判并向政府提出该安全问题。
