@krautmeister bro, it will give ASML and CYMER a run for their money instead of a monopoly, the end result is the destruction of American imperialism. And for the US it will be like the 2nd Pearl Harbor attack especially coming from the Japanese.

wao ! any sources ?
Translating this to practical terms, is the ULTR-700VG capable of producing mirrors for 5mm DUV? If not, how accurate are the mirrors produced?
Still all speculations. I've been looking forward to HarmonyOS myself, but I'm still sceptical that many Chinese smartphone makers other than HUAWEI will adopt HarmonyOS, unless they too are banned from including Google apps. I'm not even convinced if HUAWEI would continue to stick to HarmonyOS if Google is again allowed to work with HUAWEI. Because they sell globally and they want to sell Google-compatible smartphones for success. Honor, which is now separated from HUAWEI, is planning to launch new smartphones with Google services based on Android.
It's not about Android itself but the Google apps that matter. Personally I don't use and don't want Google's services but seems most other people are different and can't live without Google.
They could adopt the two OS separately - a HarmonyOS version for the Chinese market and an Android version for the global market but it must be too demanding for companies to develope two different customized software versions.
Why do I think I am in love? Hahaha
Just read this below, how can you not be awed by their ambition. Huawei BEST Chinese company
Its a business decision.
Xiaomi, VIVO and the rest can produce 2 lines of phones, one for the export market and the other for domestic market, as they do now.
The Android variant that is sold in China already lacks all the Google Mobile Services that is the key to the Google ecosystem. Since the Chinese consumer continue to buy Android phones without GMS, then the transition could be pretty seamless.
All Huawei needs to do is charge less or nothing for Harmony OS to be installed on Chinese domestic phone, as you stated.
The Chinese software ecosystem has been a weak link for Chinese phone maker. As long as Huawei present s valid business case in terms of profit sharing, there is no reason why BBK and Xiaomi would not see it as a risk mitigation alternative.
Harmony OS is works similar to Android, but uses mini-kernels, refining resource management and security. From a dev perspective, it's not really a whole new software, as most of Android apps would work natively, with some needing a wrapper to work.
I imagine the idea is to grow this alternative ecosystem over the span of 5-10 years by increasing the user base and incentivizing app developers. Once a viable alternative is up and running, and or thriving, then you can sit back and wait for your competitor to fuck up or some other disruptive tech to come along and make current smartphone the equivalent of a Nokia.
Since Harmony could be integrated into cars, PC and other electronics, it could come with some killer capabilities that Android and IOS just could not match.
BTW, anyone notice how sad/crude Apply Carplay and Anroid Auto looks.
