Huawei will continue security support for Android smartphones

14 Sept 01:32 Key points summarised by AI

Huawei commits to providing ongoing security updates and after-sales services for all existing Huawei and Honor smartphones and tablets worldwide, despite Google's restrictions.
The company has not clarified the situation for future devices, which are unlikely to access popular Google services like Gmail and YouTube without a special license, potentially damaging its appeal outside China.
Google confirmed compliance with the U.S. trade blacklist, limiting Huawei to the public version of Android and denying proprietary apps, though Google Play and Play Protect will still function on existing devices.
The U.S. ban's impact is broadening, with German chipmaker Infineon suspending shipments to Huawei, signaling wider disruptions to its global supply chain.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
