Hi FF, in my understanding this project, sponsored by the Norwegian government is all about research and studies. When I have a deeper look at their site, it can be the way the mail response suggests:
Facilitating research on bleeding-edge HPC technologies
The eX3 infrastructure is continuously under build-up and reconfiguration in order to keep up-to-date with the technology development. The following hardware resources, acquired in the first phase procurement, are currently available.

Personally I think the SiFive/Qualcomm connection is much hotter than the Huawei idea.
If you want to dig deeper into Huawei speculations I offer a fact for investigation: The MBUX system in Mercedes-Benz for the Chinese market is partly installed by Huawei.
Sorry, only available in German:
Mercedes-Benz wird die neue S-Klasse bei uns wie gewohnt mit einem eigenen OS namens MBUX verkaufen, doch in China setzt man zusätzlich auf Huawei. Dort wird die S-Klasse nämlich mit den Huawei Mobile Services ausgeliefert.
