The popular video platform Dailymotion (from Vivendi) has announced a new partnership with Huawei Video. This collaboration between the two companies aims to bring international and local video content to European regions like France.

The Chinese tech giant has made this move as it seeks to expand its influence in the European nations. For those unaware, Dailymotion is a popular video sharing platform, which is similar to YouTube. Through the new partnership, Huawei Video will now have integrated video players from Dailymotion, within its application. This move has been made to improve Huawei’s existing application ecosystem.

After being banned from using Google services, Huawei had to develop its own alternatives for its vanilla Android smartphones. In this ecosystem, various popular applications like YouTube, WhatsApp, and more are missing. Thus, a partnership with the French firm will also have its reliance on US based firms reduced even further. Notably, the Chinese company had also recently built its first European manufacturing plant in France. So, it seems that Huawei plans on moving forward in the region regardless of the sanctions and pressures from the US Government.
