The first question is about Huawei's Harmony OS. What is the relationship between Huawei's Harmony OS and Google's Android system? Is it used to replace Android?
Second, if Huawei is going to develop a Harmony OS, will it invite other manufacturers to produce Harmony OS terminals in the future? There is also a problem.

Especially in overseas markets, such as Huawei smartphones can not use Google's related services?
