The Wikipedia page has a lot of good details:

The most interesting part is that it is based on realtime LiteOS that was build long time ago for IoT applications. It's not a time-sharing OS like AOSP is.
Although most phone makers still rely on Android, Google Play Store and Play Services are banned in China, so for the domestic market they've always been running AOSP plus domestic middleware. Huawei is now substituting the remaining dependency on AOSP, but the open sourced base layer is really not the valuable part of Android.
