    Default US reached deal to keep Chinese telecom ZTE in business: congressional aide

    he Trump administration told lawmakers the U.S. government has reached a deal to put Chinese telecommunications company ZTE Corp back in business, a senior congressional aide said on Friday.

    The deal, communicated to officials on Capitol Hill by the Commerce Department, requires ZTE to pay a substantial fine, place American compliance officers at the company and change its management team, the aide said. The Commerce Department would then lift an order preventing ZTE from buying U.S. products.

    In April, ZTE was banned from buying American technology components for seven years for breaking an agreement reached after it violated U.S. sanctions against Iran and North Korea. The Commerce Department decision would allow it to resume business with U.S. companies, including Qualcomm Inc, the chipmaker that is a ZTE supplier.

    U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday floated a plan to fine ZTE up to $1.3 billion and shake up its management as his administration considered rolling back more severe penalties that have crippled the Chinese telecommunications company.

    The White House did not immediately confirm news of the latest deal.

    “We’ll let you know when we have an announcement on that front,” spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said.

    The president’s earlier proposal ran into immediate resistance in Congress, where Democrats and Trump’s fellow Republicans accused the president of bending to pressure from Beijing to ease up on a company that has admitted to violating sanctions on Iran.


    After the latest report, Republican Senator Marco Rubio tweeted, “Yes they have a deal in mind. It is a great deal… for #ZTE & China. #China crushes U.S. companies with no mercy & they use these telecom companies to spy & steal from us.”

    Rubio added that Congress should act to stop Trump from letting ZTE get back into business.

    News of the deal came a week before U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is scheduled to visit China for another round of talks amid ongoing trade frictions between the world’s two largest economies.

    Gawd almighty if it isn't McCain or Graham now it's become Rubio. what a douche.

    US Chinese trade relations are now in active discussion OUTSIDE OF WTO complaint hearings.
    The partys (Xi/Trump) have agreed in principle to reform unfair Chinese trade practices.

    What Rubio ect. don't understand is that trade negotiations need to be more then zero sum.
    The partys ideally negotiate for both best interest. To increase favorable rate for both

    They use these companies to spy and steal from us. That sounds like a National Security issue. I know I'm not the sharpest tack in the box, but, 'they use these companies to spy and steal from us' should be a Red Flag.

    Chinese spying/stealing is a Big Thing. agreed. Much,much bigger then Russian problems -but the politicians use Russia to distract.
    But the fact that China and the US are in face to face negotiations is YUGE - it's not pro forma crap like filing complaints with the WTO that go nowhere.

    This is part of the give and take. Rubio is uber-hawk and not focused on the big picture of US/China relations

    as usual you are unable to connect thoughts- muchless ideas/concepts.

    US/China talks are the only way to improve trade- not thru the WTO

    Thanks. I was wondering if I was the only one that thought this was a National Security issue.
    You know, like, we spend a zillion dollars on Military hardware, but they can cripple us because their technology (which they stole from us) is superior.
