A Tweeter’s story revealed that Huawei has tried to silence people when they talk about the problems Huawei phones are having.
Huawei launched its mobile phones Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro in Malaysia on October 3, 2019. A host who has a YouTube channel to evaluate mobile phones bought a Huawei Mate 30 Pro and surprisingly found that all Google software, including YouTube, Google Maps, Gmail, and Play Store, did not work.
He posted a YouTube video to discuss the problem.
Then he posted another video on October 31, reporting that he received threats from Huawei. “Today I heard that (Huawei) was warning me. Huawei told me, ‘You’d better not talk about this. If you continue talking about it and continue ‘slandering’ Huawei, we can sue you.’”
He reported, “Maybe this YouTube (video) will be my last video.” The host warned the audience that Huawei might have the power to close his YouTube channel.
“I feel that Huawei is a villain. I didn’t do anything (against it). I just used the Huawei’s phone and found the issue. I asked for a solution. Why do you warn me like this? … I used to praise Huawei’s phones. … When I received this warning, my heart sank. … That’s why many big media didn’t report about these problems from Huawei.”
The following are some reader’s comments on the posting:
Comments by “News Revelation”:
“To help people to recall: A Microblog celebrity (in China) questioned if the moon picture that Huawei claimed to be taken with its P30 Pro phone was edited in Photoshop. Then his company fired him because of pressure from Huawei. A few years ago, Huawei’s ad claimed its phone used a high-end memory card but a person reported on the Internet that his test found it was a low-end memory card; he was arrested.”
Comments by “The List of Guillotine”:
“A few months ago, a person posted on a Microblog that his Huawei phone exploded. Then his post was taken out and his account was deleted. You can only blame yourself and take the loss when you run into a problem (with Huawei’s phone).”
Comments by “Talk in Human’s Language”:
“Even people outside of China are warned. How mighty (Huawei is)! The patriots can boast about it now.”

针对新机不能用谷歌套件，华为私下提供了破解方法，可一旦破解，就不能收发短信！
