Huawei earns significantly more money despite sanctions. Private customer business grew by 17.3 percent to the equivalent of 32.3 billion euros.
In Germany, Huawei mainly installs its products in the antenna network, but not in the core network, which is considered critical. The federal government is debating whether to make the core networks in the Federal Republic free of critical components from Chinese manufacturers such as Huawei and ZTE for fear of espionage. According to Huawei, the Chinese state cannot spy via the antennas because there is no way to evaluate data via them.
