ZTE is second largest Chinese Smartphonehersteller after Huawei and employs around 70,000 employees. The company had to cease operations after U.S. Department of Commerce banned companies from selling components or software to company in April for seven years.
According to Department of Commerce, ZTE had lied to United States about its links with North Korea and Iran. That is why sanction was invoked. ZTE had criticized this as unfair, but admitted a violation of Iran sanctions. The penalty “not only threatens existence of ZTE, but also harms interests of ZTE’s business partners, including a large number of US companies,” company n shared.
The US and China are currently in a trade conflict. Trump threatened Beijing with tariffs and or trade restrictions of up to 150 billion US dollars.
