China’s ZTE slams US ban on sales
China’s ZTE Corp. has blasted the U.S. government decision to impose a seven-year ban on its purchases of crucial American components, calling the move “extremely unfair” and “unacceptable.”
The Shenzhen-based communications-equipment maker vowed to protect its rights by legal means without specifying what actions it may take, according to a statement posted on the company’s website.

It also said it will continue to resolve the issue through negotiations with the U.S. government.
The Chinese firm relies on suppliers from chipmakers Qualcomm Inc. and Micron Technology Inc. to optical developers Lumentum Holdings Inc. and Acacia Communications Inc.
The ban may also stop the company from using Google’s Android operating system, the heart of its smartphones.
