Huawei says it's made a 100 percent Chinese PC

Huawei has introduced the Qingyun HM650 desktop, which it says is made entirely from Chinese components. The machine uses Huawei’s ten-core, 20-thread Kirin X90 processor, running at 2.3 GHz, and a new enterprise edition of HarmonyOS, the company’s operating system intended to reduce reliance on foreign platforms. One Chinese government agency has reportedly ordered 600 units, as Beijing directs government organizations to replace Windows-and-Intel systems with domestic alternatives. The claim that every component is locally made does not establish that each was designed in China; foreign companies also manufacture parts inside the country. Still, the PC could threaten Intel, AMD and Qualcomm’s access to a major customer, particularly as rising memory prices weigh on the broader market.

Other developments include Japan’s ¥10 billion emergency cybersecurity package, announced after attacks disrupted rail, retail, logistics and cloud services. It will fund security improvements, AI-supported basic defenses, national incident-information tools and assistance for victims. Vietnam has unveiled a domestically designed 28-nanometer security chip with built-in encryption, already used in government secure-storage devices, though further testing is needed before it can protect state secrets. Lenovo has moved Asia-Pacific chief Amar Babu to lead Motorola, leaving his former position vacant; the company credited him with regional growth across PCs, phones and infrastructure. Apple also reported a record education-market deal in the Philippines: 172,000 MacBook Neos for teachers and education staff.
