Pepe Escobar - Say hello to the Russia-China operating system

The US ban on Huawei is pushing it to develop alternative systems that may rival Google and Android

Huawei is developing its own operating system for its phones (and any other company's phones) and it can be adapted to the Russian - Finnish  operating  system, named Aurora. But what made this article interesting to me, was that Google was concerned that this new OS could be bullet proof and can't be hacked. 

So, the U.S. government is concerned about the Chinese government hacking Huawei phones, so Huawei make them hack proof, but some sections of the U.S. are not happy with that either. 

The HongMeng system may also harbor functions dedicated to security and protection of users’ data. That’s what’s scaring Google the most; Huawei developing a software impenetrable to hacking attempts. Google is actively lobbying the Trump administration to add another reprieve – or even abandon the Huawei ban altogether.
