It has been officially confirmed that Huawei, the Chinese technology company has developed its own operating system.  The development comes in repercussion of US government banning and initiating lawsuit against Huawei.

In a fight against the US government, Huawei is suing the US government for not allowing its federal officials to use the Chinese firm’s telecom equipment over security concerns. The company has said that the US government has failed to provide evidence to substantiate the security claims and that the US is acting unconstitutionally.

Its estimated that Huawei’s networks, numbering over 1,500, reaches one third of the world’s population. Huawei overtook Ericsson in 2012 as the largest telecommunications-equipment manufacturer in the world and overtook Apple in 2018 as the second-largest manufacturer of smartphones in the world, behind Samsung Electronics.

Huawei currently uses Android’s operating system for its smartphone devices and Windows for its laptop and tablets.

Yu said that moving onto Huawei’s in-house platform was the company’s “plan B” and that “of course we prefer to work with the ecosystems of Google and Microsoft.”
