        Wait is it actually? That would probably make it the biggest co-op in the world.

          It’s not really disputed, and the article is just trying to throw shade. For example, this gem:

          Huawei’s ownership is a murky matter because the company has never, in more than three decades of existence, sold shares to the public.

          It’s like they don’t understand the concept of a cooperative? If a company sells public shares then it’s owned by share holders.

          Also, painting the fact that Huawei works with the government as being outlandish is also hilarious. Every US tech company works with US government and gets massive government subsidies.

          In fact, if the government exercises some control over the company that’s actually a very good thing.

        can we agree that monopolies are still a bad thing for consumers?

            they’re building an ecosystem, I assume it means something like apple’s ecosystem which is just a pretty prison. Huawei may implement it differently, but in genral it’s not a good sign when a company tries to do it. and things like not having an official method of unlocking the bootloader gives me the feeling that they’re not going to have an open ecosystem.

            now don’t get me wrong, the fact that they’re trying to distance themselves from google is a good thing, but if it means another colsed environment where it’s in company’s interest to imprison end users, then it is terrible.

              As far as I know HarmonyOS is based on AOSP, so I would actually expect the core technology to stay open. I’d like to see what they actually do with it before passing judgement.
