Huawei Considers Rivals To Google's Android After US Ban

'Huawei said it's working on its own operating system for its mobile
handsets and will consider rivals to Google's Android, after the U.S.
blacklisted the company, threatening its partnerships with chip,
component and software suppliers. From a report:

The Chinese telecom equipment giant said Tuesday it was in talks with
the Alphabet about how to proceed after Google confirmed it would cut
access to some of Huawei's operating system features for the company's
new devices in response to the announcement. Should Google's system no
longer be available, "then the alternative option will naturally come
out -- either from Huawei or someone else," Abraham Liu, Huawei's
representative to the European Union institutions, said at an event in
Brussels on Tuesday. Liu said Huawei had been working on its own
operating system but that he didn't have the details about when this
would be ready. Huawei would do everything in its power to mitigate
the impact of the U.S. decisions, Liu said'
