In 2019, Huawei was banned from Android and cut off from the Windows ecosystem after the United States government placed the company on the entity list. Most people thought that was the end. Instead, Huawei spent 5 years quietly building Harmony OS Next, a fully independent operating system built from scratch with no Android code, no Google dependencies, and no reliance on American software. Now it is running on hundreds of millions of devices across phones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches, cars, and smart home equipment. And it is now showing up on personal computers in China, the largest PC market on Earth, in the exact spot where Windows has gone virtually unchallenged for almost 40 years. This is not just a phone story or a Chinese tech story. With Windows 10 support winding down and Beijing actively pushing state offices, banks, and infrastructure operators toward domestic alternatives, Huawei is using its captive market of over 1 billion potential users to build an entire app ecosystem, developer base, and enterprise trust that Windows took decades to establish. But it does not stop at China's borders. Huawei is already pushing Harmony OS into Southeast Asia, the Middle East, parts of Africa, and Latin America, selling it as sanctions-proof insurance against ever being cut off by a foreign power. In this video, we break down how the restrictions designed to weaken Huawei became the blueprint for an entirely parallel technology stack, and why Microsoft, Google, and the rest of the world should be paying very close attention.

The video is unnecessarily 22 minutes longer then it needs to be. Huawei built is own os thats it
HarmonyOS is born, many thanks to the American government putting Huawei on their entity list.
If you pressure a customer he will look for an alternative solution and you will never get him back
Windows is killing itself with bloating and overcharging
Even Europe is moving away from windows os to Linux for their gov used computers
I'm looking for Huawei's version of Youtube where no zios and neocons could restrict content. My next phone will be a Huawei.
Stupid USA government trying to abuse it’s power short term and it will bite back. Chinese are scary long term thinkers. Well done Huawei.
Eu moving to Linux also. USA have stabbed its tech giants in the back
My daughter gave me he Huawei Laptop after she finished Uni, I absolutely Love it. Its so speedy and responsive.
Next 10 years no more Microsoft at this rate.
Practically every optical router/modem in Africa is Huawei.
Seems like a lot of Chinese companies secretly play the long game 😂
America keeps finding the rest of the world can do it better when you don't play fair
The USA corporations won’t let them in, because they will destroy the competition, same reason don’t allow Chinese electric 🚘 cars, their too efficient, cheaper price, and can run for over 600 miles in one charge, plus all the extras that come with he cars at no extra cost. 😂😂😂😂
No body has to kill Microsoft, they are doing it to them selves. Boot loops, unrecoverable data, bricking bios, forced bitlocker, etc, etc
M$ killing themselves faster than anyone. Windows 11 is the biggest step in the Linux desktop evolution!
It seems to me that Microsoft's greed and arrogance is fragmenting the computer OS space.
I like Harmony OS next and DeepSeek 💙💙
I broke ties with the American terrorist regime when I discovered Linux in 1994.
TLDR, Huawei built an operating system called HarmonyOS. They are trying to make it compatible with smart appliances and laptops. The End.
