How Huawei Survives After US Sanctions

As a global company, Huawei's development story in the international market is highly representative. After experiencing severe sanctions and challenges, how was Huawei able to survive?

While ordinary consumers may think that Huawei would collapse due to US sanctions, Huawei has stubbornly persevered. The fundamental reason is that the sanctions did not strike at the core of Huawei's business. In Huawei's annual reports before and after the sanctions , consumer business, particularly smartphones , did not occupy much space. Instead, the focus was on the ICT infrastructure business, which remained Huawei's primary business. The 2019 Huawei annual report stated, "ICT infrastructure business is one of Huawei's core businesses," and the latest 2022 annual report data shows that ICT infrastructure revenue accounts for over half of Huawei's total revenue.
