That's why Huawei would probably benefit from using an independent ecosystem, together with Samsung, Sony, etc. They could set it up in Singapore or Hong Kong to avoid political issues and share the profits. At the same time you get US-critics to buy those phones instead of Google or Apple controlled ones.

Not sure though how inclined the other manufacturers are to work with each other.

Korea and Japan are American vassals on the one hand, and wary of China's growing power on the other.

So I guess that they won't want to "get in bed" with China on this.

There is one small american company that makes those. They have some fruit as their logo...
