When things are going your way, it still helps to have a backup plan. That seem to be Huawei’s attitude to the ongoing China-America trade wars, which have wound up with the Chinese company on the so-called Entity List. And now that Plan B is looking more and more like a thing, the company has begun trademarking its Hongmeng mobile operating system around the world.
Huawei has confirmed that it won’t launch its upcoming MateBook laptop due to the US trade ban, because it doesn’t have access to Intel processors and Windows.

The first problem I encountered, as I gave up Google for a week, was that I couldn’t get my email.
