Huawei’s Android and Linux alternatives get boost from Shenzhen as China continues to wean itself off foreign tech Sanctioned-hit Huawei is getting more support from the Shenzhen government in an action plan that promotes the use of HarmonyOS and EulerOS
Shenzhen’s goal is to have more than 40 per cent of the city’s new operators of “critical information infrastructure” – systems considered important to national security – using EulerOS by 2025, according to the plan. It also specifies that HarmonyOS should take “an important seat” in China’s smart device ecosystem.
Boosting the use of both HarmonyOS and EulerOS outside China is another aim of the Shenzhen programme. It hopes to see greater adoption by 2025 among countries participating in China’s “Belt and Road” initiative and Brics, a group of emerging economies formed in 2009 comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
EulerOS now has more than 430 million installs across 130 countries and regions, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said at a press briefing earlier this month.
