Huawei says its new Qingyun HM650 desktop computer is “100 percent” made in China, according to a report by The Register published November 9, 2026. The machine uses Huawei’s own Kirin X90 processor and a new enterprise edition of HarmonyOS, Huawei’s operating system, according to the report.

What was announced

  • The Register reports that the Kirin X90 is a 10-core, 20-thread processor running at 2.3 GHz.
  • The article says Huawei launched the machine “last week” and does not name the launch location. It gives no price.
  • Huawei reportedly says “local companies manufactured 100 percent of the components in the machine,” according to The Register.

Questions raised

The Register notes that it is unclear whether all those components use Chinese designs, since many non-Chinese companies operate factories in China. The article attributes its claims to reports and includes no direct quotation from Huawei or any other named person.

Demand and context

The Register reports that one Chinese government agency has signed up for 600 units and that Beijing has reportedly ordered government entities to move away from Wintel systems toward local alternatives. The article says the launch is bad news for Intel, AMD and Qualcomm, whose PC sales are shrinking as memory prices rise, and that losing bids for China’s government business is unlikely to help them.

What the report does not include

The article does not give the machine’s price, memory or storage configuration, performance figures or availability outside China.
