Trivia - A former Jolla sailor now works for Huawei.

As much as I would like this to happen. Jolla in its current form is not ready for end users. Also with a big developer team which Huawei could provide this would need at least half a year. And generally such a new user experience is a big risky move.

This is very bad for Google, they will have less customers and less influence.

Adopting Google Android would be like pissing in your pants for warmth in the winter. Somebody must have translated that to Chinese and I am sure they have plan B and have already considered Sailfish. Spying company as they are they may even have taps in the server holding the source code, so I am expecting the upcoming Huawei OS to be a Hybrid of Harmattan, Sailfish , Tizen running with native driver layer on non USA hardware. ;-p
