Rising global concerns over security aren’t impeding sales of Huawei Technologies Co. for now, although that may change if government pressure, led by the U.S., forces mobile operators to delay investments, an official at the Chinese company said Wednesday.

U.S. lawmakers and the administration of President Donald Trump have said Huawei poses a potential security threat and Secretary of State Michael Pompeo this week urged allies to shun the Shenzhen-based company. Huawei has said that it’s privately held, doesn’t take orders from the Beijing government, and wouldn’t do so because that would ruin its global business.
