美國政府再次延期執行對中興出口限制
Chinese telecoms equipment group ZTE said on November 18 that it has won a further reprieve until February 27, 2017 on export restrictions that were imposed on the company by the U.S. government.
中國電信設備集團中興於11月18日表示,已成功使美國政府對該公司實施的出口限制延期到2017年2月27日。In March this year, the U.S. Commerce Department hit ZTE with some of the toughest-ever U.S. export restrictions for allegedly breaking sanctions against Iran.
今年3月,美國商務部對中興公司實施了堪稱美國史上最嚴厲的出口限制,理由是中興違反了美國對伊朗實施的出口禁令。If imposed, a ban for U.S. component makers and software firms to do business with ZTE could cut off much of the Chinese network equipment and smartphone maker's supply chain.
如果出口限制生效,那麼美國零部件製造商和軟件公司將不得與中興展開業務往來,這將切斷大部分中國網絡設備和智能手機制造商的供應鏈。
The latest reprieve comes after ZTE said this week it had appointed Matthew Bell as its new chief export compliance officer based in the U.S.
在中興公司宣佈任命馬修·貝爾出任其駐美首席出口合規官之後,他們又一次獲得了延緩執行該禁令的結果。ZTE added that it will continue to cooperate with the relevant U.S. government departments to reach a final solution on the matter and comply strictly with relevant U.S. laws.
中興方面還表示,該公司將繼續與美國政府相關部門合作,爭取在這一問題上達成最終解決方案,並嚴格遵守美國的相關法律。ZTE's Hong Kong shares closed down 1.9 percent on November 18, and are down 35 percent for the year to date due to uncertainty over export restrictions.
中興集團香港股市股價於11月18日收盤下跌1.9%,由於受到出口限制這個不確定性因素的影響,中興股價今年迄今已經累計下跌了35%。
