It's not clear whether this will be Android API compatible? If it's not, I'm sure it'll be successful given the size of the local market, but it's going to create a real schism for services – will Netflix produce a HarmonyOS app? Maybe that won't be a problem, but it'll probably further cement the separate Chinese ecosystem on the web, and create more work for local companies who will now need to support 3 mobile platforms.
If it is Android compatible, those issues will go away and I could see this taking off externally. Huawei phones are popular in many countries (not the US) as they're cheap and reasonable quality for the price, even if they have had scandal after scandal. Many consumers won't really care about the backstory.
Edit: sounds from other comments like it will not be Android API compatible.
