At the meeting, ZTE said that the United States may cause ZTE to enter a state of shock. It is extremely unfair to ZTE and indicates that it cannot accept the ban. Although ZTE’s attitude was tough, the US Department of Commerce stated that the ban was implemented immediately and there was no room for negotiation.
In the prohibition clauses, including the prohibition of all US companies selling all products to ZTE, which also includes electronic components. After the ban, the US semiconductor giant Intel said it would strictly enforce the ban.
