ZTE crisis, after more than two months of gaming, finally comes to an end.
According to the information disclosed by US Secretary of Commerce Ross, ZTE has signed a new settlement agreement with the United States, and the United States will lift its ban on ZTE.
escaped death at a heavy price. The new prices offered by the Americans include:
1, a fine of US$1 billion, and a deposit of 400 million for third-party supervision.
2, ZTE’s board of directors and management will be replaced within 30 days.
3. There are no restrictions on ZTE’s on-site inspection.
This is a fairly severe settlement and is the most severe and largest fine ever imposed by the U.S. Department of Commerce on a company that violates export controls.
ZTE is bleeding! From the perspective of an "evil capitalist society", it turns out that money can still be made in this way!
1.4 billion US dollars in fines! What you need to know is that ZTE’s net profit in 2017 was only US$700 million. This is equivalent to two and a half years of ZTE's profits. After so many years of hard work, all of it is working for Americans!
This inevitably makes people feel a shame, and the lesson is extremely painful! Here, the author is no longer able to discuss the rights and wrongs of ZTE, because I have written several related articles before. Looking at the entire process of the incident, Dingsheng Video (dssx99) summarized four points, which are worth pondering!
Lesson 1: You always have to pay back when you come out to mess around!
It is undeniable that ZTE’s fluke mentality bears the original sin of this Chinese enterprise. In the entire incident, ZTE was indeed caught by the United States.
The United States wants to persecute you and can’t find any reason, but you stupidly bump into someone else’s gun! There is a feeling: God will not forgive Americans if I don’t punish you! Even if there is no trade war, the United States will try its best to scare the monkeys! There was a mistake in the first place, and even China's solemn representations will not be able to achieve maximum effectiveness!
has also given a new lease of life to the vast number of Chinese overseas companies. If you come out to mess around in the world of , you will have to pay back sooner or later!
Lesson 2: The United States is indeed ruthless!
Today's United States adheres to the principle of America first. Anyone who wants to take advantage of the United States must first think about how to bear the devastating revenge that the United States will carry out against you!
To be fair, ZTE made mistakes first, but it will never lead to death! However, the United States does not care about this. The United States knows very well that it cannot quickly defeat China in terms of economic growth. The only way for the United States to remain the most powerful country in the world is to try to hinder China's economic development! He even disowns his once-close allies, let alone China.
We must be fully prepared!
Lesson Three: Core Technology! Core technology! Core technology! (Say important things three times!)
We are in the midst of globalization, and globalization provides cheaper solutions to problems. When it is easier and cheaper to buy chips than to produce them yourself, your dependence on external technology continues to solidify, and you lose your core technology!
China imports more than 200 billion US dollars of chips every year, and high-end chips are almost entirely dependent on imports. If a considerable part of this huge market is used to support the development of domestic chips, then this development will be unstoppable.
We must keep in mind that core technology is the most important weapon of the country. No matter how big or beautiful a house is built on other people's walls, it may not be able to withstand the wind and rain, or even be vulnerable. The fact that core technology is controlled by others is our biggest hidden danger.
Lesson 4: Don’t get into trouble!
For the ZTE incident, we still have to thank Mr. Trump for making us recognize our own gaps! Knowing shame and then being brave, having no retreat can stimulate the wisdom of the Chinese people more. This is how we have come through over the years!
"We will make chips sooner or later, but American imperialism will never make Maotai!" Although this is an Internet joke, it reflects the confidence of Chinese culture.
If a country always wants to speculate in real estate, but a landlord is more popular than a scientific researcher, how can this be done? Sooner or later, you will suffer a big loss!
It’s time for us to start paying attention to the technology field. The real estate-dominated social economy is so fragile that it can even collapse in one blow! No matter what the United States does, China cannot get into trouble. China should adjust its social and economic structure and continue to promote reform and opening up. There is no retreat.
The current international environment is more favorable to China than to the United States. We must strategically despise the United States in and attach great importance to American in tactics. This is what our generation should strive for. (End)
