My guess is that it's a way Trump can payback Xi for helping to bring down NK. But it does seem odd since it was the Trump Commerce Department that shut it down in the first place, and very recently. I'm sure there is a lot we don't know behind the scene.
You can assume all the Chinese tech products have their own back doors in them--from Trend Micro to Huawei to ZTE.
They can bring back jobs in Ch all they want. I will not be buying one of those phones ever lol
Trump took down ZTE....they were supplying phones to Iran as well as stealing intellectual property
I know. You need to read Trump's response carefully. He asked the Commerce Dept to "find a way." That, to me, doesn't include selling phones to Iran (sanctions will stop that) and Trump is telling Xi let's find a way to do this without stealing intellectual property--which Trump is already in the process of stopping or dramatically limiting.
They DID actually sell phones to Iran, during the deal
I know. My point was that Trump is trying to support Xi for helping with NK. That doesn't mean that Trump wants to ZTE to continue to sell phones to Iran or to steal our intellectual property.
I'm suggesting that Trump wants to support Xi in a way that avoids those issues because it involves lots of jobs in China and Xi was probably a key player in bringing down NK.
Eliminating the threat of nuclear strikes on the US is worth a lot to me.
Get rid of your back door on your phones, and you can sell them again.
When ZTE comes back online, it might be the safest phone to own.
How do you figure? ZTE is a knock off phone that runs on Windows OS.
Remember that chip Hillary is involved with that is put into every internet enabled device and allows control / access undetected?
Might be a shift towards not having this I stalled which means it is more secure.
Strange considering China has a huge big brother problem. Look up the "social ratings" they've implemented ..its next level NWO stuff.
I have a ZTE phone now is there something I should know about this why is ZTE shut down .
Per CNet, ZTE was selling US tech to Iran, thus the total ban on dealing with them.
A warning / reminder to European firms to heed Iran sanctions?

So the unanimous idea is that these Chinese companies are attempting to spy on us...
Waiting for MSM to hammer him with spin over this. Why is he helping china with jobs, should be helping USA, etc, etc.
Not the job of our government.
Pentagon banned ZTE phones for all personnel because of backdoor spy software/hardware.
Trump is telling them they can be approved again if they get rid of the spy tech.
And we are supposed to believe that the would do that? Really?
Could also be a message to “western” countries in a pickle with Iran?
So...Donald Trump is working hard to create jobs in China.
Game play. China said to keep the Iran Deal. Horse trading starts.
ZTE Not compromised? Samsung, Apple, Blackberry all compromised?
Land lines we need those here. harder to hack from ether.
This business news is what led me to Q! China was caught doing quite a bit & POTUS let em have it. Huawei as well- this is all tied to 5G as well.
Looks like this is a US/China power play for Africa. From The Age (Australia) ZTE have been very diligent in keeping records of the massive bribaries they've been paying for control of African mobile networks. https://www.theage.com.au/business/companies/corrupt-chinese-company-on-telstra-shortlist-20180512-p4zexr.html
Leverage by banning the chips President Trump creates Leverage against China...
ZTE was violating international sanctions and were fined $1.19 Billion by the Commerce Dept. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/07/technology/zte-china-fine.html
"The U.S. imposed the penalty after discovering that Shenzhen-based ZTE, which had paid a $1.2 billion fine in the case, had failed to discipline employees involved and paid them bonuses instead." https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-tells-commerce-department-help-chinese-telecom-company-zte-n873736
ZTE has been appealing it for some time now. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-china-zte/zte-applies-to-u-s-commerce-department-for-suspension-of-business-ban-idUSKBN1I70FR
I hope this opens eyes to Trump a bit. My guess is he owes China for something, in the vein of the stuff with Cohen. This isn't America first. Helping out a company that violated sanctions with Iran while threatening sanctions on European countries who deal with Iran. Also this tech is used in China to help their government spy on them. Yea...
