Huawei revenue down 2.2% in first three quarters of 2022, data shows by AFP Staff Writers Beijing (AFP) Oct 27, 2022 Revenue at Chinese telecom giant Huawei fell by 2.2 percent year on year in the first three quarters of 2022, company data showed Thursday, as Covid-19 and US sanctions dragged down sales.
