Huawei Technologies Co Ltd is testing a smartphone equipped with Hongmeng, the company's self-developed operating system, which could potentially go on sale by the end of this year, Chinese state-media outlet Global Times reported.
[...] Huawei executives have previously described Hongmeng as an operating system designed for IOT (internet-of-things) products. Last month the company said the first major devices powered by Hongmeng would be its upcoming line of Honor-brand smart TVs.

More like BSD needs to run Linux binaries because BSD has zero market share. Hongmeng needs to be able to install APK files because everybody uses Android and nobody would ever use Hongmeng.

I wonder if this is true.
There are a lot of people in China, and if Trump's trade war churns up a nationalist movement in China, or even causes further restrictions on Android (forcing more Chinese companies to offer alternatives to Android), it might have a chance.
Choices are good. Hoping they succeed.

It does not matter how the trade war ends. China will do whatever it possibly could to cut her dependence on anything American, period. This bridge is blown up. We have to live with it.

Yeah, what market? Losing an entire market, isn't introducing options in our market.
