ZTE politics and business
Quote from admiral4eva on May 17, 2018, 9:01 PMProf what can you say about the collapse of ZTE, a Chinese firm that respects intellectual property and pays for same (to the best of my knowledge). whose business just collapsed because of politics. how can firms protect themselves from political decisions that can harm them? Doesnt this action of the US go against its complaints of intellectual property infringements by chinese firms and encourage other firms to shun American technology and disregard IP? What is the likely fallout of this action from both sides?

Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on May 17, 2018, 9:17 PMTrump will save ZTE. Besides, ZTE challenge is not IP related. It traded with isolated countries and was fined. It was also asked to take actions to clean its house. It did the opposite. The issue is that the punishment is severe but ZTE got itself into that trouble.
Yet, Trump will save it. You do not allow companies that employ thousands to go under like that. It has never happened and will not happen.
ZTE will be fine provided Trump wakes up rememebering his Twitter password.
