Chairman Xu Zhijun emphasised the need for personalised applications to strengthen the ecosystem and meet consumer demands. Currently, Harmony has over 15,000 apps catering to basic needs.
The push comes amid United States sanctions, which have restricted Huawei’s access to Google’s Android. Xu called on developers, government agencies, and organisations to support Harmony, stressing its maturity will depend on widespread adoption and user patience.
HarmonyOS was unveiled in 2019 after the US imposed trade restrictions upon China, citing security concerns. Huawei remains committed to investing in its development to achieve technological self-reliance, with Xu describing the initiative as essential for the company’s future success.
