GUANGZHOU -- Huawei Technologies on Tuesday said it has now shipped more than 200,000 5G base stations, an improvement from the 150,000 it had shipped through July, despite U.S. sanctions against the Chinese company.

The increase indicates that the U.S. sanctions have not stopped European and Asian customers from buying Huawei equipment.
