Huawei could not meet its initial projections because of many problems confronted on the global level, US sanctions and its call for allies banning Huawei products contributed to slower growth of the company.

He also said 2020 would be difficult year for the company and surviving would be the top priority of the company, in October, the U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross urged India in a conference held in New Delhi hoping that India the world’s second-largest telecom market would not tolerate security risks and allow Huawei to build 5G infrastructure in the country. Luckily, Huawei remained pragmatic over the U.S. allegations of security risks and assured European countries that their products and services are safe, not all the US allies adhere to US advice and participated in Huawei 5G spectrum trials.
