Xiaomi also released their own fork of Android recently on HyperOS, it is still built on Android AOSP without google elements. Seems like thats the way going forward.
That's kind of what almost all android distros are (except that most don't remove google play services) ... samsung's OneUI, Xiaomi's current MIUI, Huawei's HarmonyOS, just skinned AOSP with some added features.
I think that's the most sensible approach, there's little value in reinventing the wheel here. The main goal is to make sure that the tech stack is owned and manged domestically, so ripping out any Google dependent bits is the key task.
