Google removed "Don't be evil" clause from its code of conduct and practically plays the same game as Microsoft in the PC Market. Huawei will just sponsor some custom ROM that is not USA based, and find some replacement for Google Play.
This was not Google's decision at all. They have no choice but to comply with the US government. Intel, Microsoft, Qualcomm, Nvidia, AMD, Texas Instruments, Broadcom...all have to stop dealing with Huawei just the same.
In terms of Huawei, it is not just finding a Google Play replacement. The issue is who outside of China will buy a smartphone with no access to Youtube, Google Maps, Google Search, Google Translate, Google Docs, Google Photos or Google Search?
Facebook apps and services? Also not allowed. No Instagram. No Facebook. No Whatsapp.
Huawei's smartphone market outside of mainland China is done and over with.
