Sounds like straight from the Silicon Valley TV show, where the startup ideas were all just to prefix established companies and services with "Chinese".

So this would be "Chinese Android".

That show featured great satire. And, at times, a very accurate one.

Well I would like to say if you want to get access to the source code of HarmonyOS without uploading your passport, ID card and so on as well as long term background check, here is a complete open Chinese domestic repository link for downloading the whole project maintained by official technical team of Huawei. You can sign in just with your Github account. https://openharmony.gitee.com/

TFA covers that - OpenHarmony is a completely different OS than the "Harmony 2.0" Huawei is touting. Kind of like how Windows CE and Windows NT don't share any code. OpenHarmony has a different kernel and is by no means a full phone OS.

It seems like we live in a post-truth world now.

China has been a post-truth country for a while now.

Seems to be a staple in diplomacy for powerful states. Can't think of any that are exempt.
