Sanctions for ZTE, which have a serious impact on Japan, what happens to the 2 -screen smartphone

The low -known cheap smartphone maker was ZTE in China, which is now an old story.However, it suddenly grew into a Chinese company with a large share in the mobile phone market in Japan after Huawei.Not only MVNO's cheap SIM communication provider, but also various models for kids and seniors to all of docomo, au, and Softbank.Even if the manufacturer called ZTE is a minor, the smartphone of the BLADE series, and above all, the latest two-screen smartphone M Z-01K, which grabs our hearts, is made of ZTE.

However, VentureBeat reports that ZTE has finally fallen into a distress in which US sanctions have stopped stopping its main business.The United States did not cooperate with the sanctions imposed on Iran and had made illegal transactions, and a very severe sanctions of the US Ministry of Commerce have been tremendously strict sanctions.One -third of the company's products depend on the supply of US companies such as Qualcomm and Intel (Intel), and once it stops, this is already difficult.

The company's online store has already stopped selling all products.In addition, TAOBAO, an e -commerce site of Alibaba Group (Alibaba Group), which is famous as a sales route, has stopped ordering with the update signature.In Shenzhen, China, where the headquarters is located, you can see even more free employees.

Even if parts are not available from US companies, it is not impossible to secure parts from the Taiwanese company MediaTek (media tech) on an alternative route.However, it is clear that this sanctions on the United States have had a non -tonnut impact.No way, the aftermath comes to Japanese users.Currently, ZTE is calling for the release of the embargo, and it is said that he is promoting his efforts, but he will not only be able to stop the Breath of the ZTE brand as it is.Is it?
