When Huang's remarks came out, they caused an uproar on the Internet in an instant. As things continue to ferment, Huang's comments in the company's internal group have also been posted online by some people. At the moment, netizens have criticized Huang's behavior. It is believed that Huang's behavior is worshipping foreign things and resisting domestic products, which not only restricts the development of the company, but also restricts the development of oppo.
First of all, I am a China native, and I am proud of the prosperity and strength of my country. But why did Huang, a public relations officer of oppo, make such remarks? In order to have a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of this matter, let's first have a preliminary understanding of the storm center of this matter-HarmonyOS system.
1. What is the HarmonyOS system?
HarmonyOS System is an operating system for mobile phones and smart home appliances independently developed by Huawei. How to develop and design, I won't do too in-depth analysis here. However, everyone knows more or less the background of HarmonyOS's system. Due to the increasingly serious economic sanctions and technology blockade in the United States and other western countries, private technology enterprises such as ZTE, Huawei and DJI have also become the targets of the US government, believing that they have hindered the development of local enterprises in the United States. A series of sanctions such as "entity list" and economic sanctions have been formulated.
It is in this context that the HarmonyOS system came into being, and the HarmonyOS system was independently designed and developed by Huawei. It is precisely because of independent research and development that we can avoid the shortcomings of using Google Android system, such as being restricted by the US national economy and maliciously raising export tariffs.

HarmonyOS system came to the era of 2.0 in June this year, which not only further optimized the system functions, but also supported intelligent terminals other than mobile phones and smart TVs, such as driving recorders, smart small household appliances and even industrialized equipment, all of which could use the operating system of HarmonyOS system. Huawei also officially issued an invitation to allow other enterprises to introduce the HarmonyOS operating system, and for a time, national pride was also ignited by the HarmonyOS system.
2.oppo's desire
As a mobile phone manufacturer, Oppo has always been in a competitive relationship with Huawei in the field of mobile phone sales. Although HarmonyOS's system is the glory of domestic products, as a competitor on the table, it is probably abnormal to use the application system released by the competitor unguarded. What's more, the style of oppo has always been the road to independent development. Despite the severe economic sanctions in the United States, it has not reached the point where domestic manufacturers must coexist.

Oppo has not been fully engaged in parts assembly since its development. In fact, oppo also has its own research and development heart. From June 5438 to February 2020, oppo and Yijia R&D department merged to further develop color UI. Prior to this, technologies such as VOOC flash charging were also improving the overall level of the industry. In the first half of 2020, Huawei had 2,772 invention patents, followed by oppo, with 1925 invention patents, ranking second. In the future, oppo will also establish its own R&D headquarters in Hangzhou. The chip developed by oppo is also under secret design and development.
3. the truth
Huang, a public relations officer of oppo, publicly resisted the use of HarmonyOS system in his personal Weibo and internal discussion groups. In fact, this is just a gesture as a market competitor, and it does not involve national and political issues. Domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as Huawei, oppo, Xiaomi and Yijia have finally been recognized by domestic and foreign markets. Maintaining proper competition is actually more conducive to the healthy development of the market and the improvement of scientific and technological level. If there is only one monopoly, it is not conducive to the improvement of scientific and technological level.

However, under the pressure of public opinion, Huang quickly made a mistake in Weibo, saying that it was only his personal behavior and had nothing to do with the company's decision-making and development orientation.
In recent years, China's science and technology, especially mobile communication technology, has developed rapidly, but in the process of development, we should also be soberly aware that such outstanding performance actually hides the crisis of unbalanced development. From hardware chips to software systems, there are still many areas where our country has shortcomings. The core of technology is in the hands of western countries. The successful research and development of HarmonyOS system is only the first step of the Long March, and all mobile phone manufacturers have the right to make their own choices on the premise of independent operation. Only by truly letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend can we create greater progress in a free and harmonious environment.
