Ah, so "black societies" meant something like "criminal organisations", maybe triads? I thought to begin with the comment meant dark-skinned people.

So, if I have it right:

Originally Huawei called their OS 'Hongmeng'. But that sounds like 'Hongmen' which is an alternative name used (but not exclusively) for the outlawed Tiandihui crime syndicate.

something close to that.
