Huawei and Google Were Working on New Smart Speaker Before Trump’s Ban

I wonder if Google's execs are really that oblivious to the danger Huawei poses, or they are doing this sort of stuff on purpose - like if they intended to sell this speaker in China, thus empowering the Chinese gov with Google's surveillance's tech and Huawei's backdoors. This would certainly be in line with recent leaks about Google "going back to China" and enabling surveillance of Chinese citizens there.

On the other hand, they made tens of thousands of security keys for their own employees by repackaging a Chinese vendor's hardware that didn't last a month before they had to recall them over a serious security issue, so maybe they really are that oblivious.
