China’s Huawei says sales down but new ventures growing
华为表示销售额下降但新业务增长
中国科技巨头华为表示，其收入在 2022 年上半年下降，但汽车和工业技术领域的新业务有助于抵消美国制裁下智能手机销量的下降。
截至 6 月 30 日的六个月内，收入同比下降 5.9% 至 3016 亿元人民币（448 亿美元）。
华为总部位于靠近香港的深圳，已加快了汽车、医院、矿山和制造业的网络技术开发。
Chinese tech giant Huawei said Friday its revenue fell in the first half of 2022 but new ventures in autos and other industries helped to offset a decline in smartphone sales under U.S. sanctions.
Revenue fell 5.9% from a year earlier to 301.6 billion yuan ($44.8 billion) in the six months through June 30, according to the company, the biggest maker of network gear for phone and internet carriers. It gave no profit but said its profit margin was 5%, which would be about 15 billion yuan ($2.2 billion).
Huawei Technologies Ltd., China’s first global tech brand, has struggled since then-President Donald Trump blocked access to U.S. processor chips and other technology in 2019. The company denies American accusations it is a security risk and might facilitate Chinese spying.
Huawei, headquartered in Shenzhen, near Hong Kong, has stepped up development of network technology for autos, hospitals, mines and manufacturing. It says that is now less vulnerable to U.S. sanctions.
“While our device business was heavily impacted, our ICT infrastructure business maintained steady growth,” Ken Hu, one of three executives who take turns as chairman, said in a written statement.
