Please understand that this in not Google's doing. Huawei was put on a restricted list by the U.S. Department of Commerce. All U.S. firms are forbidden from selling technology to Huawei without first obtaining approval from the U.S. Dept of Commerce. Google has no choice but to obey the law. This will affect Microsoft and Intel as well.

Google has been granted a 90 day extension. So you don't have to worry about it until August.
