TAIPEI -- Huawei Technologies reported a sharp slowdown in growth as the world's biggest telecom equipment maker continues to grapple with the U.S. crackdown.

Huawei said its revenue for the first nine months of 2020 grew 9.9% to 671.3 billion yuan ($95.87 billion), down significantly from a year ago when China's biggest tech company reported a 24.4% sales jump.
