-from iOS and android
As the two most internationally competitive technology giants in the United States: Apple and Google, it is impossible to be indifferent to the commercialization of HarmonyOS system. As a newly developed system, HarmonyOS is a distributed operating system based on microkernel, which is suitable for all scenarios (office, sports, social and entertainment, etc.). Under the concept of Internet of Everything, Android is an operating system mainly used for mobile phones based on linux macro kernel, and Apple's iOS is also a system based on unix macro kernel. Huawei is the last comer, and HarmonyOS system has obvious advantages.
Google and Apple are also aware of the shortcomings of their current systems. In recent years, Google has been developing Fushia system based on microkernel, and Apple is also actively integrating the collaborative capabilities of its various terminals based on M 1 chip. HarmonyOS system is actually an operating system laid out by Huawei itself for a long time, but the extreme pressure from the United States made this system put into use ahead of schedule. The behavior of the US government shows that competitors have already felt the strong competitive pressure from Huawei, and they are very helpless. They can only rely on the strength of the country to suppress Huawei to the extreme by rogue means, trying to kill it at one stroke, but they don't know that Huawei is an "invincible Xiao Qiang". In the past three years, sanctions have not only failed, but have become more and more courageous.
Since the US government didn't kill anyone, Google and Apple may use their dominant position in the mobile system to force software developers to choose a sideline: that is, ask them not to do development based on harmonyOS, or they will be punished, and so on. There is only one purpose: trying to strangle the HarmonyOS system in the cradle. In addition, the existing system can be upgraded to create more possibilities of incompatibility with the HarmonyOS system, so that the existing users will have the impression that the HarmonyOS system is not compatible (now the HarmonyOS system is very compatible with android, and it is easy for users to unconsciously go to the use camp of the HarmonyOS system).
Facing the pressure from HarmonyOS system, Google and Apple will also accelerate the iteration of their own systems, and may launch new operating systems based on the development of the Internet of Things in the near future. Competing directly with HarmonyOS system in an attempt to completely defeat HarmonyOS system with its existing basic advantages. At present, HarmonyOS system has been commercialized, and Google's Fushia system is expected to be launched soon. But as vested interests, they are also worried about the huge benefits of existing android and iOS (if a new system is introduced to replace the original system, once it is lost, it may lose the game). So Google and Apple are still waiting to see, but the HarmonyOS system has made such a big step, and they estimate that it is also possible to speed up the pace of promotion, and the battle for systems based on the Internet of Things will be more intense in the future.

-From the chip manufacturer
As a super-large enterprise integrating production, chip design, software development, mobile phone terminal and communication equipment manufacturing, Huawei's strength makes competitors in many related fields in the United States shudder. Hess's approach makes Qualcomm, a big boss who used to be able to "lie down and make money", very uncomfortable now. The United States suppressed Huawei to the limit, and visually observed that Qualcomm "contributed". On the surface, Qualcomm is a chip manufacturer. As for whose system is running on the chip, it has little to do with him. In fact, Qualcomm receives huge patent fees from Google and Apple every year. Therefore, it is easy for them to reach an unprecedented unified strategic understanding on the issue of attacking Huawei. If Huawei falls, Qualcomm can live a win-win life again, and Apple and Google can continue to "squeeze toothpaste" as before. So for American high-tech industries, Huawei is their common enemy. In the next sales contract in Qualcomm, it is very likely that there will be mandatory clauses restricting the use of the system, so as to achieve the sinister purpose of curbing the large-scale commercialization of the HarmonyOS system. Moreover, they will lobby the US government to demand that MediaTek, Samsung and other companies that use American technology should not use the HarmonyOS system, so as to further reduce Huawei's living space. In this case, if Huawei can only use it on its own mobile phones and mobile terminals, it will only shake the dominance of android and iOS.
-Infringement of intellectual property rights
Although Huawei claims that HarmonyOS system has completely independent intellectual property rights, if HarmonyOS system wants to expand the international market smoothly, it will inevitably face intellectual property lawsuits from foreign counterparts. Some people may say that Huawei's lawyer team has done early in intellectual property rights, and the system itself cannot have intellectual property risks. I mean, is it the same thing? He didn't sue you just to win the case. What the United States is best at is to use so-called legal weapons to entangle with competitors for a long time in legal proceedings, so as to slow down or delay the efficiency of your business promotion and win them competition time. Apple's previous lawsuit against HTC is a good example. Therefore, in this regard, we may have made full preparations and preparations.
Geopolitical risk
Previously, Huawei's 5G equipment was strongly suppressed by the United States, and many western countries gave up Huawei's 5G equipment based on so-called geopolitical risks. This kind of risk also exists in the internationalization of HarmonyOS system. A few days ago, Denmark assisted the United States in eavesdropping on the telephone incident of EU leaders, which once again made information security a focus topic in the world. The United States and the European Union are allies, and such eavesdropping scandals occur frequently. Of course, we are more suspicious of equipment and systems from China. Coupled with the great advantages of Britain and the United States in the field of propaganda, in the foreseeable future, the market of HarmonyOS system is bound to encounter greater geopolitical risks, which is likely to be difficult, so we must make full preparations.

-Relations between domestic counterparts
On June 2nd, HarmonyOS System was released today. Except for Meizu's announcement to join HarmonyOS System Ecology (it is said that it only joined HarmonyOS System Ecology to make small electronic products, and the mobile phone still uses Android system), Li Nan, a former Meizu executive, boarded a hot search for comments such as "Naked copying of Apple at the conference ...", and other peers collectively remained silent. This kind of performance has to be reminiscent of something. Admittedly, there is a competitive relationship in business, so it is really difficult to comment on the new product release of competitors. As the first self-developed mobile phone operating system in China, we don't congratulate it from the perspective of the development of the industry itself, regardless of business relations. This move itself has too many intriguing places.
China is the largest mobile phone producer in the world, and 70% of the global mobile phones are produced in China. Among them, domestic mobile phone brands account for half of the country, and the market dominance is actually obvious. In addition to Huawei, other mobile phone brands are really worried about autonomy. Take Xiaomi, which boasts of building its own complete industrial ecology, as an example. In 2020, Xiaomi's annual revenue was 245.9 billion yuan, and its investment in science and technology was only 9.3 billion yuan. Huawei's annual revenue was 8.9/kloc-0.40 billion yuan, and R&D investment was/kloc-0.4/kloc-0.893 billion yuan. According to this R&D investment ratio, can Xiaomi really build a truly complete industrial ecology on its own? There are also two brothers, oppo and vivo. Advertising expenditure is estimated to be much higher than actual R&D expenditure. As a peer in the industry, I don't care about the technological breakthrough of my brother company, and even hope that the other party will fail best, which is not sad.
At present, most of the enterprises that have announced their participation in HarmonyOS's system ecology are traditional home appliance enterprises, while the head enterprises in the mobile phone, communication and Internet industries collectively remain silent. Maybe they know that this matter is very serious, and one carelessness may cause big trouble. In my opinion, it's more of a "sour grape" mentality, even waiting for the day when Huawei's HarmonyOS system "won't eat" to jump out and publish "It's not difficult to build a system, but it can be built without anyone. What's the point? " . They won't do icing on the cake, but they will not hesitate to throw stones at them.
Pro-American slander
A few days ago, it was reported that high-level officials of China and the United States were in contact with negotiations. Sino-US relations seem to show signs of easing. Once the United States finds that the "big stick" doesn't work and starts to use the "carrot" plus strategy, those pro-American factions who have stopped for a long time may come out to promote their "platitudes" of the "global industrial chain". Today, there are still many "beauty worshippers" in China who have illusions about the United States. In recent years, the Sino-US trade war has made more and more China people soberly realize that if they don't master the core technology, it's like putting their necks in someone else's "trap". If they are unhappy, they will give you a hand, make you breathless and even kill you. So in the high-tech field, we must rely on ourselves.
Huawei's HarmonyOS system means that China's high-tech industry has touched the core industries of the United States. It is bound to be under a new round of greater pressure. However, since the United States forced TSMC not to sign a contract with Huawei last year, there are not many means left. However, it is possible to "be nice" to China in turn and let those "well-known" people in China "preach" for them, thus delaying the pace of commercialization of the HarmonyOS system, which has to be prevented.

Problems to be solved:
-How to eliminate the concerns of potential partners about benefit distribution?
The attitude of peers towards HarmonyOS system is complicated. The good news is that there are more choices in the operating system and more bargaining power in the negotiation of system selection. Worry is the fear of HarmonyOS's system. After all, once HarmonyOS Systems really succeeds in realizing its vision, it will go deep into all aspects of our future life, and there will be a situation: Huawei's influence is everywhere, so it will be difficult for other competitors to compete with Huawei in the so-called Internet of Everything ecology.
Once HarmonyOS is successful, it may become the next Apple, even more influential than Apple. First, HarmonyOS is an open system, so it is more popular than Apple's closed system. Secondly, it is suitable for all smart devices, from mobile phones, pads and headphones to cars and drones. It is really ubiquitous and will profoundly affect the future industrial development trend. Although the vision is good, it is really difficult to achieve, so the success or failure is still unknown, and many people choose to wait and see at this time; Third, Huawei has a layout from hardware to software. Once this advantage is formed, other practitioners may not have a foothold in the future.
Therefore, the key issue of HarmonyOS system is to show potential participants their own interests. For example, in today's smart cars, Huawei announced that "Huawei does not build cars." That is to announce to the partners that their profit margin is "manufacturing in-vehicle systems and related technical support" and they will not participate in manufacturing finished cars. This allows those traditional car companies to cooperate with Huawei with peace of mind to promote the development of smart cars without the worries of being robbed of their jobs. The commercialization of HarmonyOS system should also clarify the problem of "profit space" and let the partner know where the benefits of his cooperation with you lie. The cooperation between you will not only lead to the competition of interests, but also promote its commercialization. Only in this way can more participants participate in the ecological construction of HarmonyOS system in good faith.
-How to reverse consumers' prejudice against the domestic system?
For a long time, there has been some prejudice against "domestic" products in China, especially in the field of operating system, and we are new entrants. How to reverse the prejudice of domestic consumers against domestic mobile systems is actually a very difficult thing. Take Apple's mobile phone as an example. As a senior iphone user, many years of experience in using the iOS system has made me deeply biased against Android phones. It's not prejudice. Before using Android phones, various problems in the system would greatly affect the experience. After switching to Mac, after comparison, we will find various advantages of iOS system, so we have a dependence on mobile phone system.
HarmonyOS, as a latecomer, is bound to compare it with android and iOS. Many domestic consumers are much more tolerant of foreign things than domestic similar products. That is to say, if Android scores 70 and iOS scores 80 on a certain indicator, HarmonyOS may score 90 if it wants to get the same user experience evaluation. This means that in the process of commercial promotion, HarmonyOS system will face harsh choices from domestic users. On this issue, only by surpassing the first two with visible advantages can Huawei truly reverse the prejudice of domestic consumers against domestic systems, which requires not only time, but also patience and lasting technological innovation.
-How to build your own system ecosystem
On the issue of how to build your own system ecosystem, android and iOS used to be two modes. At the beginning of the launch of android, in order to encourage app developers, it was not drawn (now google play needs to be drawn), while iOS was drawn. If you apply the existing routes of android and iOS, it is obviously not attractive enough for developers. Therefore, it is necessary to innovate in a mutually beneficial and win-win mode, so as to benefit more app developers and attract more system developers to participate in the ecological construction of HarmonyOS system. This depends on Huawei's innovative thinking ability on the future profit model of HarmonyOS system ecology.
In addition, the ark compiler built by Huawei has been released for almost two years, but its influence in the industry is still quite limited. Compiler is a key link in building system ecology. How to maximize the market influence of compilers is very important for the construction of HarmonyOS system ecology. At present, Huawei's publicity and marketing efforts on Ark compiler are not enough. With the official business of HarmonyOS System, it should increase its promotion.
Another point is that the establishment of HarmonyOS's system ecology cannot be separated from the participation of domestic head Internet enterprises. Business cooperation, in the final analysis, is a matter of interest distribution. At present, domestic Internet giants such as BAT, TOP 10 are secretive about Huawei's HarmonyOS system. Personally, I feel that Huawei can deliver more benefits in cooperation with these Internet giants in exchange for their participation and support. Only in this way can we build as diverse an institutional ecology as possible in a shorter time, thus realizing marketization more quickly. Without the participation of these head enterprises and the promotion of some small and medium-sized developers, the breadth and depth of development are difficult to achieve the expected goals. So on this issue, we need to make corresponding trade-offs. Otherwise, it is difficult for them to join the HarmonyOS system.

Future prospects
In recent years, the game between China and the United States has made China people clearly realize that high technology can't be bought. On the road to building a modern and powerful country, only by self-reliance can we truly realize the "Chinese Dream". The United States used extreme pressure to suppress China's high-tech enterprises, making everyone aware of their "soft spots". The emergence of HarmonyOS system is a symbolic product of China's scientific and technological autonomy. Not only in hardware, but also in software, we also need to achieve self-control.
These days, Xinhua News Agency and other mainstream media reprinted the HarmonyOS System Conference, indicating the country's clear position on this system. In the foreseeable future, more and more equipment will use HarmonyOS system (one for safety and the other for supporting domestic production). People all over the country are also eagerly looking forward to the public beta of HarmonyOS System. On the day when the update package was released, the system was once paralyzed because of too many downloads. Not only that, there are many ordinary users who release videos at the first time to share their user experience of using HarmonyOS system. It can be said that time, place, people and all gathered together, just waiting for the HarmonyOS system to take off. For example, "Journey to the West and Interpretation of Eritrea" contains: "Chaos does not distinguish between heaven and earth, and no one sees it. Since Pangu broke the HarmonyOS system, it has opened up a clear distinction from here. If you want to make great achievements, you must have the courage and courage to create the world. When HarmonyOS's system is successful, or when it is "clear", I hope that day will come soon.
