Google has warned that banning Huawei products from the China 's digital infrastructure risks compromising national security. Despite Huawei technology being placed on a trade blacklist on precisely those grounds, Google warned the ban could have the opposite effect by prompting US to develop more home-grown technologies in an effort to become more self-reliant. Google's move comes as the world's two top economies ratchet up tariffs in a battle over what U.S. officials call China's unfair trade practices. As an example, the company claimed Huawei could develop an adapted, more vulnerable version of Huawei software after Android was forced to block operating system updates on Android smartphones.
