Huawei could probably do something similar, however they still can't access the Google Play Store and such, therefore leaving them in a problematic area. For instance, though somewhat substantial, the Amazon store is quite pitiful in comparison to Google Play. Huawei could attempt to make a store but it won't have the world of apps that already exist on the Play Store.

This would work in China though, since they don't have the Play Store in the first place.
