- Huawei launched the Qingyun HM650 desktops on November 5.
- Huawei says 100% of their parts are made in China.
- That counts where parts are made, not who designed them.
- The PCs are for government offices and large companies.
- HarmonyOS
- Huawei’s own operating system, which it uses instead of Android and Windows.
- Kirin X90
- A computer chip that Huawei designs itself.
- Operating system
- The main software that runs a computer and its apps, such as Windows.
Huawei has sold Qingyun computers to businesses for years. The HM650 series is its first desktop that runs HarmonyOS, Huawei’s own operating system, instead of Windows. The company presented it at its Qingyun HarmonyOS office summit on November 5.
What “100%” means
Zhu Dongdong, who leads Huawei’s tablet and PC products, said the series is the first desktop with a 100% rate of Chinese parts, unwire.hk reports. He said Huawei designs the core parts itself and develops other key parts with partners.
Huawei’s own page explains the figure in a footnote. It counts parts produced in China, and a testing company Huawei names, Zhejiang Kezheng, checked them. The page gives no list of parts.
“It is unclear if all those components use Chinese designs,” The Register writes. Many foreign companies still run factories in China, it adds.
The figures are Huawei’s own. The design question is The Register’s.
Chip, system and AI
The PC runs on Huawei’s Kirin X90 chip, and The Register and unwire.hk describe a version with 10 cores. It comes with HarmonyOS V1.0, an edition made for businesses. Huawei says its own lab measured 15% more speed than its older HM740 desktop.
It includes Huawei’s Xiaoyi AI tools for writing, research and meeting notes. Huawei says the notes tool uses an AI model that runs on the computer. Some AI features cost extra and need an internet connection, Huawei’s page says.
Huawei says the Kirin X90 chip and the operating system passed a Level II security test by the China Information Technology Security Evaluation Center.
Who it is for
Huawei aims the HM650 at government offices and companies in finance, energy and telecoms. The HM650g is the model for government buyers.
Beijing has ordered government offices to move from computers with Intel chips and Windows to local ones, The Register reports. That is bad news for Intel, AMD and Qualcomm, it adds.
Huawei’s page gives no price. Reports differ on where the PC will be sold and from when, so we leave those details out.

The 100% figure, the speed gain and the security tests are Huawei’s own claims, and no one has taken the PC apart. Reports give different prices and sales channels, so neither is in the story.

Huawei launched its first HarmonyOS desktop on its own Kirin chip, but its 100% China-made parts claim is unchecked. How we rate the mood
The mood shows how the news frames the event for the tech and AI world: as an opportunity (6 and above) or as a loss (below 5). It is not our verdict on who is right.
