The ZTE incident has finally settled the dust.
Independent research and development, never outdated!
One
A huge scar left behind 5 years ago has been fiercely uncovered today!
China's 100 billion telecom giant ZTE, in great anxiety, waited for the US court on the other side of the ocean to pronounce the verdict, and the result was normal: the 5-year probation originally scheduled for March 22, US time, expired without any punishment, and confirmed that the term of office of the ombudsman was terminated.
This means that the 5-year "ZTE Incident" has finally come to an end, and nearly 100,000 ZTE people no longer have to stay under the eyes of the surveillance personnel stationed in the United States.
It seems that ZTE has won and survived the 5-year sanctions, but none of the ZTE people are happy.
After Xiaomi successfully escaped from the US sanctions list, the carnival of shouting "we won" could not see a shadow on ZTE, and ZTE did not show a little relaxation.
The only happy ones are probably the 480,000 ZTE A-share investors and the RTE investors in Hong Kong stocks who are instantly up and down in the stock.
For ZTE, the so-called end of the probation period is more like being "released after completing the sentence"!
This scar of shame is not only imprinted on ZTE, but also a great incentive for all domestic enterprises!
Two
The ZTE incident is a massacre that the United States has been planning for a long time.
But without ZTE's own stupid mistakes, it would be difficult for the United States to have a chance to do it.
The source of this incident can be traced back to 12 years ago, in 2010, when the United States imposed export ban sanctions on Iran through the United Nations, requiring global companies to ban the export of goods containing American technology to Iran.
In 2012, ZTE exported a batch of products mixed with software and hardware of American technology companies to Iran's largest telecommunications operator, a move that was discovered by the United States and immediately launched an investigation.
In 2016, the U.S. Department of Commerce released the results of the investigation, finding that ZTE violated U.S. export control regulations and including ZTE in the "Entity List."
A year later, ZTE reached a settlement with the United States, agreeing to pay a sky-high fine of $890 million, and another $300 million in fines suspended, whether to pay depends on the performance of ZTE in the next 7 years. ZTE also made commitments to compliance improvements and disciplined dozens of employees.
I thought that at the cost of 1.2 billion US dollars, the storm passed, but I didn't expect that ZTE's nightmare had just begun, and what I didn't expect was that ZTE itself handed the gun to the United States.
A few months later, the United States discovered the new problem of ZTE, the original promise to dozens of employees of the bonus deduction plan has not been implemented in time, but also some employees false punishment of real rewards, even two years ago to the United States in the letter there are false statements, and even the Iranian code written as "YL" in black and white evidence has been found, showing that it is a very low-level deception.
Shortly after China proposed the "Made in China 2025" plan, the United States was eager to find an excuse to suppress China, and after years of deliberately looking for Huawei's stubble without results, ZTE sent it to the door itself.
Trump personally sat in the seat, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, the new account and the old account together, directly to ZTE a fine of 1.4 billion US dollars, plus a 7-year ban, even if it accidentally injured a number of American giants, almost directly sentenced ZTE to death.
Even if ZTE's top management rushed to the United States to "bear the crime of jingjing", there were many fines, the ban period was shortened, the top management and the board of directors were comprehensively rectified within one month, and the COMMISSIONER stationed in the United States was supervised at any time...
Before and after, ZTE paid a high price of $2.6 billion for its own stupidity, how many years had to work in vain for the United States, including ZTE CEO, many executives, had to roll up and leave, ZTE was forced to cut off its hands and feet, the price is so painful!
After this battle, ZTE only has its last breath, and the high-tech industrial chain that China has just established has suffered heavy losses, countless enterprises have fallen silently, and the national image and high-level layout are inevitably affected.
However, in three years, ZTE has been ashamed and courageous, and together with Huawei, it has launched the brand of Chinese science and technology in the world, and ZTE is no longer the ZTE that was slaughtered by the United States.
But this shame, ZTE does not dare to forget, let alone forget, 1.4 billion Chinese should be remembered!
Three
Survival of the fittest!
This natural law of the animal kingdom is also an immutable truth in the human world.
What Western "democratic civilization" with no borders in science and technology, borderless art, and inviolable to God of private property, was stripped naked in this Russo-Ukrainian War:
The great powers, led by the United States, say that russia will rob and confiscate, that if it is not yours, it is not yours, and even cats and dogs and trees are the same crime.
These century lies have long been completely crushed by China!
3 years ago, Huawei was cut off by the United States, from hardware chips to software systems, and then to the lithography machine embargo and chip supply, the United States gathered global brothers to surround Huawei, and even more encircled the overseas development of Chinese high-tech enterprises.
But Huawei is still alive and well, and China's high-tech has not stopped for a day.
China's top brass has long been aware of the tricks of the Western powers, and the ZTE incident is enough once!
In the field of science and technology, there has never been any fairness to speak of, let alone the so-called rightful thing to do, and the bloody facts tell us that the competition between countries can be said not to sell you at any time, and you can't buy what you want with money.
What does localization and independent innovation mean? The Sinopec brother gave the most straightforward answer.
Only when science and technology are self-reliant and use the "spare tire to be corrected" can we exchange a straight neck for not being stuck.
Four
All the past is the prologue.
ZTE spent 5 years, and finally understood Ren Zhengfei's original intention of investing hundreds of billions of yuan to engage in self-developed chips.
Countless Chinese companies have thoroughly seen the reality in the ZTE incident that high-tech cannot be bought with money.
European and American countries have never given up on our technology blockade, they always first use the technological advantages to extort high prices for us, seeing that our independent research and development has been done, once the blockade does not work, immediately open the supply of mature technology, the purpose is to strangle our own technology research and development in the cradle, so as to continue to maintain their dependence on science and technology.
The ZTE incident is temporarily in the past, which is just that ZTE has not left the United States with the handle to find things again, and it is definitely not a discovery of the conscience of the United States, let alone that they keep their promises.
Don't forget, there are still hundreds of Chinese companies still in the US "entity list", and more "ZTE" may be secretly calculated by the United States at any time.
It is safe to say that this will never be the last "ZTE incident", and adhering to independent research and development is our only way out.
Maybe in 10 years, we will thank the United States for its original hardships, they may never understand, their sanctions, their obstruction, their sky-high prices, but in the end they have achieved more and more united, strong, and self-reliant Chinese enterprises!
But today, we should all strive to be strong, shame and courage!
Thousands of mountains and rivers are always love, and it is not okay to give a "good look"
