To address its own and country biggest weakness, Huawei must advance its chip manufacturing.

Trump Vows China’s Economy Won’t Surpass U.S. on His Watch

President Donald Trump said he was “very happy” with the trade war and that China wouldn’t become the world’s top superpower under his watch.
“We’re taking in billions of dollars,” Trump told Fox News Channel’s Steve Hilton when asked about the end game on the trade war. “China is obviously not doing well like us.”
Trump’s comments signal he’s in no rush to get back to negotiating with Beijing after talks to end the trade conflict fell apart earlier this month. He has since raised tariffs on Chinese goods and moved to restrict
Huawei Technologies Co.’s access to the U.S. market, putting the Chinese telecom giant and scores of its affiliates on a blacklist that curtails access to key American suppliers.
China’s economy is “not great” at the moment, Trump said. “Our economy has been fantastic. Because they were catching us, they were going to be bigger than us. If Hillary Clinton became president, China would have been a much bigger economy than us by the end of her term. And now it’s not even going to be close.”
The president also told Hilton he believed China wants to replace America as the world’s leading superpower, and it’s “not going to happen with me.”
“I think that’s their intention,” he said. “Why wouldn’t it be? I mean they’re very ambitious people, they’re very smart.”
Economists at HSBC Holdings Plc in 2018 projected China is on course to be the world’s biggest economy by 2030. The nation’s gross domestic product will stand at $26 trillion in 2030, while U.S. GDP will rise to $25.2 trillion, according to the HSBC projection.
The International Monetary Fund also last year said China could become the world’s largest economy by 2030.

Trump is confirming what anyone with half a grain of sense knew already. The trade war has nothing to do with fair trade, but with slowing China's growth and hurting it out of a sense of pride, jealousy, and anger of the United States towards China for just very likely surpassing it as the world's largest economy.

A lot of and probably even most American citizens share Trump's sentiments. Chinese citizens should not be fooled. For some any means to prevent that from happening, even WAR would be necessary.

Gmail use is so widespread that people won't want to switch to another service. It will be a case of "Huawei doesn't have Gmail? Oh I'll buy this other brand instead. "

Google maps is in app that users may be comfy with replacing. But replacement isn't easy or quick to make. To make an equally good system years might be required.

App store can also be replaced and developers wooed to put their apps on the new Huawei store. But that too would take a year or more until enough developers/apps come.

There is a big chance Huawei handsets outside China see a sales drop of over 50% in the coming year.

App ecosystem outside of China is definitely going to be hard for Huawei to develop in a short amount of time. For the Google services, I just had this thought. What if Huawei instead of preloading the Google apps in its system, just put icons with embedded URL shortcuts to the web versions of Google's services? For example, on the new Huawei OS, when you tap on the Gmail icon, it just opens up a dedicated browser instance that goes the Gmail web-client. The web-client is obviously worse than the mobile client but it still gets 90% of the jobs done without relying on GMS pre-installed on the OS, and buys time for Huawei to rally up its own ecosystem. Anyways, that's just a fruit-for-thought from me.

To what extent are Chinese citizens asking themselves why China hasn't been able to produce the full spectrum of high tech goods of quality comparable to those of the United States yet?

LOLOL I don't think he's lying this time. China's nominal GDP isn't going to surpass that of the US in a year or even 5 years under any president either way. He might as well say, "As long as I'm here, the sun won't burn out and the earth will be safe!"

If one uses patents of others without authorization to produce goods exclusively for a domestic market is that illegal?

Indeed, even without the trade war.
