New achievements in the construction of compliance manuals: Building a compliance manual is an important part of building an effective compliance system. ZTE has been committed to continuously improving the compliance manuals and expanding its influence in the compliance rule system. In this quarter, ZTE further updated the export control compliance clauses of the Corporate-Level Manual, and initiated the annual revision of the Corporate-Level Manual and trained operating subsidiaries on manual development. The "Regulations and Policies" and "Eight Elements of ECP" modules in the manual practice community have been completed, realizing the timely response of the compliance manual to the changes of policies and regulations and the positive interaction between the manual and other compliance elements. Also,we established a mandatory feedback mechanism from risk assessment result to the manual practice community. The performance manner of risk assessment activities, problem detection, and manual revision suggestions shall be fed back to the Export Compliance Manual Project Team in a timely and effective manner through the risk assessment module in the manual practice community. This promotes the bi-directional interaction and exchange between risk assessment project and manual project, and ensures that the compliance management and control in the business process are consistent with the requirements in the compliance manual.
合规手册建设不断取得新进展：做为有效的合规体系建设的重要一环，中兴通讯一直重视不断完善合规手册并提升其在合规规则体系中的影响力。本季度，公司进一步完善更新了合规手册总册中的合规语言部分，同时启动了手册总册的年度修订工作，对经营型子公司的手册开发进行赋能培训。手册实践社区中“法规政策”和“ECP八要素”两个社区已经完成填写，实现了合规手册及时响应政策法规变化以及手册与其他合规要素的良性互动。同时，我们建立了风险评估对手册实践社区的强制性反馈机制，将风险评估活动的实施方式、问题发现和手册修订建议通过风险评估实践社区及时、有效地反馈到出口合规手册项目组，推动风险评估项目与手册项目之间的双向互动和交流，确保业务流程中的合规管控与合规手册中的要求保持一致。
Continuous promotion on export authorization control: In terms of export authorization control, ZTE headquarter dispatched teams to operating subsidiaries to provide guidance on ECCN online publication. Through in-depth understanding of the subsidiary's business processes, ZTE headquarter helped subsidiaries identify weaknesses and optimized them in many aspects, such as organization, process specification, system control, business operation results and training effect verification, to continuously improve the ECCN online publication capacity of subsidiaries and independently build an export control compliance system. In addition, for the management and control of the export authorization system, ZTE has implemented Export Compliance?Scan?System ( “ECSS” )in two subsidiaries. Through the implementation of the ECSS system, the subsidiary can identify export control compliance risks, train its own export control compliance management expert team and ECSS maintenance team to further improve the export control compliance system. In terms of GTS implementation, the GTS system has been upgraded, and the implementation scope of GTS has been continuously expanded. ZTE's automatic compliance management and control capabilities have been effectively improved.
