ZTE is actively working to meet its compliance obligations under its agreement with the US Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”). ZTE is committed to ensuring export compliance to avoid any future issues for ZTE or our business partners. In this letter, we will discuss the following topics:
中兴公司正在积极履行其与美国商务部工业安全局（“BIS”）所达成的协议下的合规义务。中兴公司致力于确保出口合规，以避免中兴公司或业务合作伙伴今后遇到任何问题。我们将在本函中讨论以下话题：
●BIS lifted the Denial Order, and ZTE signed the Superseding Settlement Agreement
●BIS解除《拒绝令》及中兴公司签署《替代和解协议》
●The National Defense Authorization Act does not affect the Denial Order
●《国防授权法案》不对《拒绝令》产生影响
●ZTE is actively enhancing its export compliance program
●中兴公司正在积极强化其出口合规项目
●BIS has appointed a Special Compliance Coordinator (“SCC”)
●BIS已经指定了一名特别合规协调员

●中兴正在与监察官和特别合规协调员进行配合
BIS Lifted the Denial Order, and ZTE Signed the Superseding Settlement Agreement
BIS解除《拒绝令》，及中兴公司签署《替代和解协议》
On 8 June 2018, BIS terminated the Denial Order against ZTE. ZTE may now purchase third-party parts, components, systems, technology and services from US suppliers (subject to applicable export control restrictions) and sell telecommunications equipment in the US and global commercial markets. ZTE is actively working to meet all of its customer service requirements. We deeply appreciate the consistent understanding and strong support from you and your company during this challenging period.
2018年6月8日，BIS解除了针对中兴公司的《拒绝令》。中兴公司现在可以从美国供应商处购买第三方零件、组件、系统、技术和服务（但仍受限于可适用的出口管制限制）并可以在美国和全球商业市场上出售电信设备。中兴公司正在积极做出努力以满足所有客户服务要求。我们对您和您的公司在这一艰难时期给予的持续理解和大力支持深表感谢。
ZTE agreed to a Superseding Settlement Agreement (“SSA”) with the US government. Under the SSA, ZTE’s ability to use US parts and components, as well as its other business operations, remains subject to compliance with applicable US export controls regulations. ZTE has agreed to not conduct business in certain countries subject to US economic sanctions.
中兴公司已经就一份《替代和解协议》（“SSA”）与美国政府达成一致。根据SSA，中兴公司对美国部件和组件的使用等业务运营，仍须遵循可适用的美国出口管制法律法规。中兴公司已经同意不在某些受美国经济制裁的国家开展业务。
The National Defense Authorization Act Does Not Affect the Denial Order
《国防授权法案》不对《拒绝令》产生影响
On 13 August 2018, the National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”) became law in the United States. The NDAA does not re-impose the 15 April 2018 Denial Order against ZTE.
2018年8月13日，《国防授权法案》（“NDAA”）成为美国法律。NDAA并未对中兴公司再次施加2018年4月15日的《拒绝令》。
However, Section 889 of the NDAA directly and indirectly prohibits the US federal government from procuring certain telecommunications equipment or services from designated Chinese companies, including ZTE, or from other companies that rely upon those designated companies’ equipment or services as a substantial, essential or critical part of any system. However, there are certain exceptions for network interconnection and end-user equipment.
然而，NDAA第889条直接和间接地禁止美国联邦政府从包括中兴公司在内的一些指定的中国公司或其他依赖上述指定公司的设备或服务作为系统重要、核心或关键部分的公司采购某些电信设备或服务。但是，网络互连和最终用户设备存在部分例外。
