Anonymous, 27 Jul 2018ZTE sold telephones to Iran in 2012. The US sells arms and ... moreCertain US technologies have export restrictions on them. You must agree not to supply them to specific embargoed nations. ZTE agreed to those terms, then turned around and broke them. Over time they worked to negotiate an acceptable punishment, but ZTE then chose not to fully comply with that punishment. THAT is when the ban was resorted to. If ZTE had abided by the original agreement, no ban. If ZTE had complied with the negotiated punishment, NO BAN. They brought it on themselves.

Anyone who saw the movie Snowden (highly recommended), will know what is going on. The Chinese might be trying to put spyware on their android phones they sell, whilst the us is trying to put its own spyware on android phones. Why else would us authorities be getting so nervous?.
Anyone read the permission setting on apps?. They have access to everything on your phone.... Who controls what the app does and does n't?

ZTE sold telephones to Iran in 2012. The US sells arms and weapons of mass destruction to any country they choose, including Iran which used to be one of their biggest customers.

I still say the government knife stuck in the back of ZTE & Huawei, is a result of lobbying from Apple & Samsung towards congress, the FCC etc. Apple & Samsung, due to carrier branding and the 24 month no interest payment for a new phone, has pretty much a stranglehold duopoly in the USA market.
I think those two would do ANYTHING to keep a serious competitor out of the USA market. Since congress controls the FCC purse strings, the lobbyist money funneled to the members of the house or senate, gets them to pressure the FCC to tell carriers, who's staying in business is based on yes or no answers from the FCC.

Anonymous, 26 Jul 2018ASS: American Shitty Standards. ....and yes, I'm joking ... moreThey chose to brake a US National Security related embargo they'd agreed to. US government wants to ensure they never do it again - replace the executives that had no qualms about selling to IRAN, a financial fine big enough to serve as an example to all, and a clean break from the tarnished brand. What should they have done, given them a pat on the head?

Sad to see so many people sticking up for the evil dictatorship of China and their rampant, worldwide program of industrial espionage and lashing out at a democracy trying to protect its citizens. :-( You should be hoping every Chinese company fails for the sake of the free world, so we don't all end up getting squashed by tanks like they did to peaceful protestors in Tiananmen Square - maybe some of you are too young to remember.
