Hongmeng has been slow R&D project. Suddenly the new mobile OS is must have. I'm not surprised if Huawei goes to a shopping spree and buys several mobile OS and mobile UI companies at once.

Buying both Jolla (Sailfish OS) and Qt Group (QTCOM.HE) would be peanuts for Huawei.

I’m pretty sure not least of all EU authorities would step in if the latter were to ever eventuate. Huawei buying Qt would raise a whole ‘nother level of fire storm at the thought of Huawei now buying themselves into, amongst others, a bazillion embedded devices and desktop apps.

I just realized that ARM has stopped working with HiSilicon (Huawei subsidiary). HiSilicon used mainly ARM ISA and ARM's microarchitectures. ARM (Softbank subsidiary) loses big customer.

What wil Huawei/HiSilicon do next? Jump head first to RISC-V or adopt MIPS variant. Who will they by to get there faster?

China has a MIPS chip in the wings called the Loongson. Got a lappy with one, works nice.
