lol. American companies will suffer more if the Chinese government intervene.
Apple assemble their iPhone in China imagine if China chased them out.
If China force all Chinese phone makers to boycott American companies, Qualcom, android, Apple will almost collapse.
If oppo, vivo, oneplus, Xiaomi and lenovo boycott Qualcom and Android they will only Samsung and Nokia in fact Qualcom will only have Samsung in US to supply since the global Samsung use exynos chip. Nokia is a joke America will definitely feel the heat

U know apple could easily build an assembly plant anywhere in the world and cut all ties with foxconn and China will be at the loosing end.
You know those companies u mentioned oppo vivo etc will be at the loosing end if they decide to boycott Qualcomm and Android.
These companies are dependant on America and that's the truth.
There's a reason they call America world power.

danjumakolo:
China is known for hard work.
I tell u,once China makes this OS an open source, developers will rush into it to make interesting apps.Trust the Chinese citizens,they will rally round their own to make it successful.China will certainly make an alternative of Gmail, chrome browser, YouTube etc just like weibo,yoku
It won't be easy but their determination should see them Tru.

China has been making alternatives of everything...
But people won't use them.
Na today them make alternative of samsung? They called it singsung. I bought the phone..tell me how singsung has taken over the world now..their fakery is their downfall

gnykelly:


None of them can refine it... Even USA send theirs to China for refining

they send it to china cos of cheap labour and cost of production.australia is already building factories to refine rare elements so as to take advantage if Americans withdraw from Chinese makers of rare earth elements

Teel012:


Even at that, if the Chinese people decide or are forced to drop Android for the oak OS, the U.S will lose a huge chunk of their market, considering that the Chinese have a fast developing middle class, Who have the financial capability to afford all these things. Lastly don't forget that the world turns to whoever can lay claim to a technology, so the same forces you talk about can easily turn around.

You are belittling consumers. Forcing an OS on consumers is just so impossible. Every consumer wants to play on a stage of trend, compatibility and vastness. Have you seen any die hard Symbian freak still existing?

The World has tuned often and some-things will just remain the way it is, especially when its on the stage of big players. What will take android out of the market will still come from this same stage. The future is IOT, so its a weapon every top player will put their all in it.


Look at the numbers-Big players and consumers, it does not favour China at all.

foolbuster:


Your head dey there jare. The key word thou is sucessfully.The chinese along side their brothers constitute a significant chunk of the market. They will side their own.

And if eventually the Oak OS makes sense. Android will really have a tough fight on their hands.

The ban might finally end up coming back to bite them in the ass.

I really don't know much about the tech but I doubt if their own OS will succeed. As a liquor man, can u buy a phone without Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Twitter's app??

Mustack:

All those countries don't have them cheap and enormous quantity like what China offers.

Are you telling US will turn to Russia for its rear earth mineral?�

US has been using Russia's rocket engines to get to space for decades now. It's only ending now because of SpaceX and BO coming up with their own bespoke engines.

Continental Europe buys Russia's oil and gas than any other regional bloc in the world. So forget the bluster and theatrics, when push comes to shove, even mortal enemies would shake hands if it means jobs and FDI. China failed when they tried to weaponize rare-earth metals against Japan back in 2010; they'd fail again against the US.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

martineverest:

Oga the only company that dig out rare earth elements in USA said they don't have the technology to refine it... In 2012 cia even tried on spying the tech they were caught.

mrvitalis:


Ask ur self would people pay 3 times more to be on those app ? ...facebook and co are big because they are popular ...when more people cant affored them they would die naturally its simple

Economically that's wrong,it all depends on purchasing power.For economically viable countries like US,canada,major European countries and major Asian countries,taste and comfort is priority.

Mustack:


Kirin is a chip set just like mtk, Snapdragon exynus etc..

Hongmeon is a name given to the OS in China version name, while oak is the global name...

Don't out your mouth to what you don't understand.

I perfectly understand this, even before i typed that...
At first, before the Google ban they have plans to name their OS in line with their in house chips - "HiSilicon Kirin"
Hongmeon was meant for the Chinese Market...
They later said it will be called "Ark OS" globally...
Its just now they came up with the "Oak OS" name...
So stop behaving like a know it all!!
I typed that because there were many reports flying around about the name of their OS!!

martineverest:


1) if china chases apple out...china will enter recession and all American factories will china will retaliate by moving to India and vitenam and secondly Americans wont buy Chinese goods in retaliation

2)china doesn't use Google, Qualcomm,,WhatsApp,Instagram, Amazon,Facebook etc...they use baidu,tencent and alibaba

3)Lenovo is the only Chinese hardware maker flourishing in USA not because of their phones but their computers...about 96 percent of Americana don't use Chinese phones cos of spywares..about 70 percent o Americans use iPhones and Samsung phones

4)Americans will NEVE feel any heat from china...if china retaliates,Chinese economy will die as they rely on American markets to sell their goods

5) the Europeans and asians use Chinese hardware because of Google,if Huawei come with their os,nobody will buy....can naija people use android without Google, YouTube, Facebook, whatsapp, Instagram, Snapchat,Twitter etc?

Chinese economy die? You are a clown. Even with all the sanctions on North Korea and Iran their citizens still have better health insurance and savings than Americans. You are a complete vegetable. China owns the world now and America is China's biittcchh

mangojuice:

Hmm Mr International politician. Swear u dump ur Android for HongMeng make we see how u go use Google Map

Hahahahah..... I no fit laugh �

od501:


Kirim is their new processor which is much more faster than the usual snap dragon

Nope... Not true...
Snapdragon 855 blows Kirin 980 out of water...
Snapdragon flagship chips are way faster than Kirin chips...
Go check Antutu or Geekbench Benchmarks...

Nbote:
I dey pity for Google.. Once Huawei can successfully come up with a competitive alternative to Google's version of d android OS dey will lose a chunk of d market.. Don't give d Chinese an opportunity to make an alternative version of anything, d original will eventually begin to use dat alternative

LOL. Pity Google how? Oak is a closed source OS and Android is open source, meaning a lot of mobile phones manufacturers still going to use Android OS. Huawei and Honor phones ain't so popular in Nigeria. Besides Nigerians and Africans naturally like copying what they use in the US. I don't think it will be any successful than Windows Mobile OS

dangoteinlaw:
lmao you have to be the most dumbest person of our generation. Who would ever pass out an opportunity to overthrow the USA, you really believe Europe and Asia had the opportunity to take down the USA currency but somehow they felt pity that "oh we do not want the USA to cry" awwwww your world is really fvcked up lol

smh

you know nothing about economics
so let ne educate you

What keeps the U.S. going is the "faith" the rest id the world has in them, and that is it
nothing more

it is that faith that America has abused by playing with one experiment they call QUANTITATIVE EASING

When the rest of the world LOSES faith in America
American economy will crumble

Losing faith equals dropping the bonds that these countries have in the U.S. debt (do you know what that means? )

Losing faith involves the world ditching dollar as the currency that is used to price commodities

many of you here will not know the implications of all these, because una no sabi any thing

China dropping the over $1.trillion they have in American bonds will screw America up (and screw China too sha)

they asked trump what he may do if that happens and the idiot said that "we will print more dollars"
as if quantitative easing is not enough

You people don't understand that this globalization experiment we have gotten ourselves into has exposed us to all manners of things and vulnerabilities, even for America and Europe


I just dey look dey laugh comments here

lilbest4:
do you even know anything about Android? 5 out of Top 6 biggest android smartphone makers are Chinese companies if android ban those companies they are left with samsung, Nokia and infinix. Samsung is the biggest phone makers in the world huawei is second Apple third xiaomi fourth then vivo, oppo, oneplus lenovo. The only reason android is popular and used worldwide is because of Chinese companies ban those companies and android wiil die in 2 weeks

Guy why u dey talk rubbish na, those phones depends on Android for their surviver. They will die the very day they think of leaving Android.

timesup234:

Yes CHINA owns Nigeria.

North Korea and Iran have no economy as we speak. Dont wish China that kind of situation, its really bad. Iran is struggling to sell their oil cheap to the back market.

American investment in Chinese economy is second to none. Most American firms are operating from CHina...

Why? Cheap Labour...their billions of heads without foods in CHina..so its easy to get cheap or free labour there...

China does not have the capability to take over the world. Even their Asian counterpart like India and Japan, SOuth Korea are doing well like china.

Let them take over Asia first..Olodo

Do you know that Ford motors have a plant in China? LOLZ..u r learner

Not only in China. They assemble in a lot of countries also. And they get most of their parts From Samsung which is a Korea company.

Brazil is the second largest producer..... Australia and USA got huge deposit.in short,Brazil got half of Chinese reserve

why won't America turn to Russia...Russia would gladly sell to USA as it will be beneficial to their economy

Sell to Is when war looming across them

read tech news b4 saying stuffs like this.. Their home grown CPU is the kirin.. Their own os for China is the hongmeon OS and since they can't use same OS globaly they have to come with global version of the OS which is ARK OS.. huawei are not confused like Nigerians

Says a person who "Reads tech news"...
If you have been truly following tech news even before the Google ban, you would know that the media has reported many names for their OS...
Apart from HongMeon, which is the Chinese name...
Kirin was speculated name when reports started flying around about their move for their own OS!!

Mustack:


Sell to Is when war looming across them

Na you wan fight am?

Putin and Trump are gaylovers...lolz...

Russian and America has never been this friendly in History..

There are trillions of Russian investment in USA..

Obama sold Nuclear fuel to Russia few years ago.

Abeg dey read news small small now

seanwilliam:
lilbest4 stop exposing ur ignorance, ur point holds no water, dnt rush to reply brother think before u type nt the other way round. most innovative tech co are from us. google is developing another os (fuchsia) which is 500% innovative than andriod. i hope u knw the different between invention and immitation. in this part of the world, nobody can do without any of GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, WHATSAPP, MICROSOFT,YAHOO MAIL, GMAIL, HANGOUT,(can u do without any? for tell u plenty things but my phone sucks(typing no easy on it

It won't be that easy for China but I think the Chinese population will b an advantage in making the OS and the new apps popular.
I am also of the opinion that there are apps which are good in comparison to Twitter,watts, insta, Facebook etc which can become popular once the Asians start ust it.Also trust China,their baddest hackers and cloners will not rest in cloning these apps for shipping.This will make the APIs of these apps(Twitter,insta,fb,watts( to be locked permanently which will affect third party apps development

Better than Iphones right?

Pick one IPhone 2 and try to use...

I don't like iphones, I'm android fan, I prefer windows phones to iphones.

Like I said before, China build better phone camera than the US

Japan, Korea and China are best in building cameras

Teel012:
The way I see it, the beginning of the end of Android by google is here. Google made a huge mistake by giving them the opportunity to let loose. I know there are so many people who will buy Huawei just to test the new OS and once it gets good reviews, more will buy and once google understands that the market is being swept from under them, they'll eventually have to partner with Huawei to remain relevant, sanction or not.

You really hit point here and I'm likely to be among those who will buy it to test. Google might feel some heat if huawei hit good on the own.

international politics is never about brothers...

tell me any country that has had it smooth after a US government sanction? Do you know why ZTE almost disappeared from where they were...


It's not about love for America nor hate as the case maybe what matters is power, huawei/Chinese don't have that now... if the US goes further to stretch that sanction the you'll understand properly what's involved

China 1.4bn plus africans 1 billion plus indians 1.3 billion can set a trend u know ?

This is how you people fail waec and wreck economies. The bolded, do you know how much these jobs mean to the Chinese economy?

How many Jobs are created by Foxconn compared to the overall Jobs in the Chinese economy.

Compliant:


You are the one missing it here bro
@lilbest4 said Apple assemble their iPhone in China

Yes or No and nobody is asking you how much these jobs mean to the Chinese economy bro

Apple assembles their phone in China because of cheap labour, China won't ban apple because if they do, they will be shooting themselves at foot, they are not stupid like Nigerian government.

Apple will move to Vietnam just like Samsung is doing
