Huawei devices without Google Play are like that not because of US ban. (discuss.tchncs.de)

It's because Google created Android in a way device owner cannot change system partitions themselfs. It's because Google Play Services require special system access. It's because Huawei won't let you unlock bootloader and install system apps.

I always assumed it was because of the defacto chinese ban on Google. So any phone with Google play wasn't going to work inside of China.

I'm talking about Huawei devices in Europe and US. What's inside China is another thing.
