Huawei’s recent troubles have been well-documented and a few industry analysts have released some truly dismal forecasts.

Yet this hasn’t stopped the Chinese tech giant to post record sales and revenue numbers.

At the end of last year, the company’s revenue was expected to grow 21 percent. In April of this year, Huawei recorded a 39 percent revenue increase for the first quarter of the year.

The company managed to record a 30 percent increase in revenue for the first half of the year (January through June). Moreover, its smartphone sales are also increasing compared to 2018, with more than 100 million smartphones sold in the first five months of the year. The Huawei P30 series reached 10 million sales in only 85 days; that’s two full months faster than the P20 handsets.

So what does that tell you? One cannot undermine Huawei’s dominant position in China; and that’s not something the “US ban” and other trade restrictions will undo.
