That statement is partly true since the Chinese isn't interested in totally breaking from a widely used mobile OS..The difference is the Chinese uses only the open-source portion and has ZERO patented or copyright parts like those using Google services. End of the days the HarmonyOS isn't about running on your mobile phone but part of the larger Huawei eco-system the includes devices like IoT to self-driving cars...

It has zero of those because Google does not allow it to have them. It's not that the Chinese isn't interested in breaking away from the OS, the truth is that it is too huge a task for them, considering the number of man-years that have already been invested in Android.

It's not a new idea that Android is used in IoT. HW doesn't really need to think much about that, so no need to give them too much credit.

Much as you like the Chinese, you have to acknowledge that there're some things they simply could not do by themselves.
