Huawei: what鈥檚 the problem with Chinese phones?

What a clash over a phone operating system says about global superpowers.

The Chinese company Huawei wants to be the biggest tech firm in the world. But this week the US tried to squash it by cutting Huawei off from Google鈥檚 Android operating system, meaning that users鈥� phones may no longer get security updates. It鈥檚 the latest move in an ongoing trade war between the US and China. So how much is this about phones, and how much is it about a battle for global supremacy? 麻豆社 Click鈥檚 Jen Copestake, Vincent Ni from the 麻豆社 Chinese Service and our Security Correspondent Gordon Corera tell us the answer.
