BEIJING — Huawei said on Wednesday that its sales had risen by 27 percent in the latest quarter, a faster pace of growth that suggests the Chinese technology giant has been successfully weathering the Trump administration’s efforts to stymie its business around the world.
The United States added the smartphone and telecom gear maker to an export blacklist in May, causing the company’s revenue growth to slow to 13 percent for the second quarter of this year. But on Wednesday, Huawei said growth had recovered to 27 percent in the third quarter compared with a year earlier, even though the blacklist means the company is still restricted from buying parts and technology from American suppliers.
Huawei is the world’s leading producer of the equipment in cellphone networks. American officials have long been concerned that the company’s products could be used in intelligence-gathering by the Chinese government, an accusation that Huawei has repeatedly denied.
The company said Wednesday that it had so far signed 60 contracts with telecom carriers around the world to provide equipment for networks using the next generation of wireless technology, or 5G.
