Google suspends some business with Huawei

Win mobile was a dominant mobile platform until Microsoft didn't nuke itself with non backward compatible, rewritten from scratch WinMo 7

Palm was a dominant mobile platform until Palm nuked itself with 5 years of clownade with Palm OS 6

Symbian was the biggest, most dominant mobile OS globally until Nokia didn't decide to simply trow it away.

JM2E was the most largely adapted app platform, even into early Android years, until Oracle/Sun simply stopped licensing it...

Now think just how thin is the ice Google is on now with it flirting with idea of "rebooting" Android with Fucsia

For each example, weren't there viable alternatives lurking around to take advantage of the situation?

I'm not familiar with Palm OS, but Symbian and JM2E both has the iPhone and Android OSs as growing threats. Google hasn't officially stated that it is rebooting Android, and even if they did (and did it right), there isn't a major alternative lurking around the corner...

There are a lot of alternative OS and playstore on different part of the world. Huawei has the resources and experience (including other Chinese companies experience since that's how they operate) to offer an alternative to the whole world.

They have experience on chat and payment software and infrastructure system used by millions of people in their country.
