According to OrienSpace, the maiden flight of Gravity-1 also carried a low-cost cargo spacecraft developed by the company. The spacecraft weighed approximately three tons and was used as dead weight to verify the rocket's carrying capacity.

will Huawei use its own network or work with telecoms providers?
Huawei is equipment supplier, it will sell its HW/SW to telecom operators who owns the assets.

Starlink should not be taken as a norm but rather an exceptional case in an exceptional time. It is like the early AT&T who is both supplier and operator untill it was broken by US congress. Starlink acts in today's model because it is a startup of business model in infancy. There is no garantee such market sector will be finacially feasible. Imposing a breakup would kill it before it matures. After the market is well established and sooner or later the US congress will do the same thing like it did to AT&T to break monopoly, other market authority like EU will do the same thing.

Huawei is a different story. Chinese telecom operators will sustain whoever's effort in LEO satellites, so there is no need for Huawei to survive like Starlink as an operator. In other words, Huawei needs not worry the market demand of satellite service (state directives), it only need to compete with other satellite producers. Besides, telecom operation is no-go zone for non-state actors. If anyone want they can put their money in the hand of these SOE telecom operators, but never to control (own) the assets.
