That's kind of big, HarmonyOS would not be just another Android flavor anymore.

> we're sorry to report that Huawei told us it currently has no plans to offer Harmony OS NEXT outside of China

That's to be expected. If you live outside of China and don't know Mandarin, the apps are not usable.

>Huawei hopes to bring its OS to PCs, too. Last month the chair of the Chinese giant's consumer business group, Yu Chengdong, revealed it would no longer run Windows on its future machines, but Harmony OS instead

That is very interesting. And considering that Harmony OS is not based on Android and Linux, I would be curious to see it running on a PC.
