Huawei has just launched HarmonyOS NEXT — a fully independent operating system that cuts all remaining ties to Windows and Google. For the first time in history, China is replacing Western software at national scale, forcing thousands of government institutions and state-owned companies to migrate away from Microsoft.
In this video, we break down how HarmonyOS NEXT works, why it’s faster and more secure than Windows in China’s ecosystem, and how Beijing is using it to achieve full technological independence. From AI-powered apps to distributed architecture, Huawei’s OS is redefining how devices communicate and how nations control their digital future.
We also examine the global implications: Microsoft’s multibillion-dollar licensing losses, the geopolitical shift, and the possibility that entire regions — from Asia to the Middle East — could adopt Huawei’s ecosystem. The operating system wars have begun.

Considering that China has cloned everything they have allowed into their country, it would seem to be an act of stupidity to not have expected China to have eventually cloned Windows software.
And I’m sure they’ll both be sending your private information to someone. CCP, CIA, what’s the diff?

The Harmony OS is just for Huawei devices. Phones laptops tablets etc...Huawei does the 5G infrastructure in European nations and others across the world. Yet at Amazon there is nothing sold by Huawei..they are banned. Banned also from any 5G buildouts in USA.
Harmony OS is 100% Chinese engineered from the micro-kernel on up. It has no Android Linux Unix in it.
see it when you have the time. This OS is direct threat to US software dominance. You can bet the CCP will be pushing this OS and the Huawei hardware over the world. It is a complete walled garden eco-system, same as Apple
Does it force it’s users to update and then lose all functions after it does?
The death of Microsoft can’t come fast enough
More ChiCom spyware? No thanks
Thuggee Indians have ruined Microsoft. From the CEO down to the grunt programmer.
It is not hard to imaging a better system than windows.
However, this is not open source, so no one knows what is in it. It seems unlikely governments will allow it to run their systems.
My understanding is in Germany, government systems use Linex variants, because they can know what is in the system, prevent backdoors, and have greater security. As I understand it they do not use windows.
We are likely moving to several independent systems where each government trusts the system it uses.
“Considering that China has cloned everything they have allowed into their country, it would seem to be an act of stupidity to not have expected China to have eventually cloned Windows software.”
No, a real act of stupidity would be to let a single line of Windows 11 source into their codebase. Unpredictably slow, buggy, unresponsive UI (Microsoft has admitted to the latter). Bet that it will never be fixed, although I’ll bet that the telemetry is mil-grade.
A four colored cube with one different color? Lol.
Hope they copied the blue screen of death, too. I think it’s satan’s requirement.
We can all say Huawei is nothing but spyware for China, but Microsoft is an Indian company now and Indians have zero respect for privacy or intellectual property.
OS/2 is way better than Windows.
Only thing is the executive poltroons in IBM's PC divisions didn't have the courage to market and stand by their product. Bill Gates scared the sh1t out of them.
I've been using OS/2 since the 1990's with no problems whatsoever.
It's been adopted by a European company and is now called Arca Noae.
If you want to use Linux avoid the ones from China you know the ones that spy on you ,LOL
If China has it, why would I want it...necessarily? Seems a little obvious to me.
Microsoft doesn’t seem to do too good at times, but would that be a good enough excuse to switch to Harmony OS? I just wish would stick to one of their versions that worked well & then do to it what needed to be done to make it reliable. For instance I can remember some older Microsoft versions that really really worked well until Microsoft said there was a problem with them & then updated to something worse. That’s what I’m afraid 11 will be.
I wouldn’t go that far. Something like this is seen as poison to any external market. You can be assured this has everything the CCP has required of it, including encryption backdoors and monitoring features for everything the user does.
Anyone else would be crazy to use it. If anything, let them do this, I’ve no issue. They’ll soon find that actually trying to advance technology themselves, instead of steal/copy+1, is more resource intensive than they realize. The depth of features that OS’s like iOS and Windows handle isn’t something that can be easily replicated without the source code (ok, maybe they stole that too!). I’d also argue this isn’t something global device makers are eager to support, so writing device drivers to support this OS might be a challenge - which would be a constant drag on supporting the latest technologies.
It’s also “security through obscurity”, not transparency, like Linux. I’d argue that it’s ripe for being vulnerable, an entire OS that has not endured decades of attacks from around the globe. I’d bet there’s folks in Mossad & CIA that are drooling over the possibilities.
IMHO - this is more of a threat to Microsoft, as it’s the go-to corporate OS. Why they didn’t start with the Linux kernel is just bizarre. It’s a proven, scalable, hardened, real-time capable, OS with thousands of device drivers. Does this OS scale across multi-core? The data-center? Maybe - but the world wouldn’t touch this with a 10’ pole.
