TAIPEI -- Huawei Technologies on Thursday remained defiant in the teeth of a U.S. crackdown, insisting it will put its own operating system into its smartphones and expand its ecosystem of apps as it tries to survive a battle over tech between Washington and Beijing.
The Chinese tech champion -- the world's biggest seller of smartphones in the most recent quarter -- said all its phones next year will be upgraded to support HarmonyOS, the company's own version of Google's Android operating system.
