ZTE, a bargain chip for Trump

ZTE is one of the top high-tech companies in China.

It has 74,773 (2017) employees (compared to 72,900 in Cisco.

I watched Youtube and some articles describing their impressive high tech research. Most likely after this incident, Chinese high-tech companies will build their own core technology instead of depending on US companies like QCom. It has done so in computer CPUs.
 
"Founded in 1985, ZTE is the world’s fourth biggest supplier of telecommunications network equipment and a top-10 vendor of smartphones, with operations in about 160 countries."
 
"He said ZTE was focused on innovation, backed by its 12.9 billion yuan (US$2 billion) in research and development spending last year, as well as some 30,000 researchers."
 
"It also ranked second in the world last year in patent filings, with 2,965 applications submitted under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, according to the World Intellectual Property Organisation. That was the eighth consecutive year for ZTE to be among the top three companies in the world with the most patent applications."
