Meanwhile, banning a handful of Chinese phone manufacturers does absolutely nothing to address your "only 2 phone OSes" concerns. In fact, it further validates my previous comment, because now there are fewer OEMs operating in the US who could introduce an alternative to Android or Google.

You have to go beyond this kind of limited view. A new OS which has momentum anywhere is an opportunity to weaken the chains of monopoly everywhere.

As i said i originally: I hope it leads to competition, but i doubt that will happen any time soon.

There is an absolute requirement for Huawei to build new technology and actually any other successful firm which has dependencies on US imports.

I'm not sure I understand the argument you are trying to make here. I agree that having new OS opportunities is a great thing, but removing competition from the US market means there's less incentive for companies still in the US market to create alternative operating systems. Are we basically saying the same thing?
