What do you think about Huawei's ban from Google services?

On Sunday, May 19, news broke that Google was starting to distance its relationship with Huawei as a result of the Trump Administration's trade ban. This means Huawei phones could lose access to Android updates, the Google Play Store, and other Google apps/services.

US wants to dominate the 5G by selling their own stuff and their own terms and can never play nice with competition. Hence they came up with this nonsense to ban Huawei. So far as with wars, zero proof of anything. However there...
