Despite the tightening of the United States, Huawei's sales have risen sharply

Despite the latest crisis at the Chinese giant Huawei technology, recent figures indicate that the company is making significant progress in sales.

Huawei said its global sales had increased double-digit in the first half of this year, despite tightening in the United States, but its conditions would be more difficult.

Sales in the first six months of this year rose 23.2 percent year on year to 401.3 billion yuan (58.3 billion US dollars), said Tuesday.

This rate was higher than the 2018 growth rate of 19.5%.

The company's chairman, Liang Hua, said sales had "had an impact" since US President Donald Trump's administration imposed restrictions on US technology sales to Huawei in May, with no precision.

"Huawei avoided the turbulence of production and sales, but added:" We are still facing difficulties in the second half. "

Trump has placed the company on a blacklist, preventing it from working with American companies such as Alphabet, which uses its Android operating system on Huawei phones.
