"HarmonyOS Surge: Huawei's Bid for OS Dominance Amid US Crackdown"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Global Times
Chinese domestic operating systems, particularly Huawei's HarmonyOS, are predicted to experience significant growth in 2024 as a result of the US crackdown on technology exports to China, which has accelerated the country's push for technological self-reliance. HarmonyOS is expected to surpass Apple's iOS as the second-largest OS in China and will be incompatible with Android. The OS is designed for the Internet of Everything era and is being adopted by major Chinese companies and even global entities like McDonald's China. This growth is part of a broader trend towards localization and security in Chinese technology development.
