Huawei can follow ZTE in the US "black list"
The US Department of Justice began testing Huawei for compliance with sanctions in respect to Iran and North Korea. It seems that Huawei can expect that the same fate as ZTE.
What happened
The US authorities apparently suspect that Huawei violated the embargo on trade with Iran and North Korea. How long will the investigation take place and how far did it go - is still unknown. AT The Ministry of Justice refuses to comment on this information.
A here in Huawei declare that the company follows all the laws of those countries, who are engaged in activities, and also to the sanctions regimes of the United States, the European Union and The UN .
And here ZTE
This same check in time passed (more precisely, not passed) one more company from China ZTE. Behind violation of sanctions in Iran was fined for 1.19 bn dollars, but recently the " punishment " was toughened . A all due to the fact that the equipment manufacturer is not laid off employees who were involved in the transactions with Iran.
AT As a result, the American company was banned from the next 7 years to cooperate with ZTE, then to sell to her various accessories and software. A this means that ZTE has remained, in First of all, without Qualcomm processors for their smartphones. Also, it may lose the license for use of Google services .
If violations occur and at transactions Huawei - it seems, after the ZTE will join the " black list " of the United States. AND no one surprised, because in States have long been " sharpening the tooth " on Chinese manufacturers: it is Huawei and ZTE US authorities suspect ties with the government of China .
