Huawei has been blacklisted.
Singaporeans who are panicking are putting their bricks Huawei devices for sale on Carousell.
This is despite reassurances that existing Huawei devices are still able to run Google apps (Google Maps, YouTube, Gmail) -- just that newer devices can't.
For Huawei users' questions regarding our steps to comply w/ the recent US government actions: We assure you while we are complying with all US gov't requirements, services like Google Play & security from Google Play Protect will keep functioning on your existing Huawei device.
