ZTE press releases[edit]

There are far too many references to the ZTE web sites. The whole page feels like a ZTE press release.Sanpitch (talk) 05:55, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I think it is pretty balanced given the whoel conterversy part seems to make it feel like they are slamming the company for being a 'strong' supporter of ethical behavior.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.141.105.2 (talk) 20:32, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why you think there are too many ZTE official refs. I can't respond because I don't know why citing press releases is a bad thing. Fleetham (talk) 00:26, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's stupid to cite press releases because this is not ZTE's web site, it's Wikipedia. See WP:SOAP. Sanpitch (talk) 03:14, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I should find out more about ZTE. I don't think simply using press releases violates that SOAP policy, however. Using third-party, independent sources would hopefully not "enliven" the article with contradictory information but should deepen it's breadth and broaden its depth, instead.

List of Customers[edit]

I think there should not be such a comprehensive list of customers.

I agree. The List of Customers is bizarre. I will delete it.--Lester 08:14, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Linux[edit]

ZTE MF620 is used by Movistar. What about the Linux drivers?. --Mac (talk) 11:32, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

removing "unbalanced" and "" tags[edit]

Someone tagged the page with:

and:

...but I don't think it's warranted. I will remove them soon unless someone objects. Fleetham (talk) 06:55, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

removed "unbalanced" tag. left pov-check because there are a lot of official site cites. Fleetham (talk) 05:30, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mobile Broadband - market position[edit]

No mention is made of their market dominance in the Mobile Broadband sector, particularly 3GSM dongles and Mobile Broadband routing equipemnt for service providers. Also no mention of world first http://wwwen.zte.com.cn/en/press_center/news/201002/t20100211_180344.html, first 4g network card. some references: http://www.strategyanalytics.com/default.aspx?mod=pressreleaseviewer&a0=4896 http://www.cn-c114.net/583/a521245.html http://www.rethink-wireless.com/2011/02/01/huawei-zte-continue-wireless-growth.htm JavaByte (talk) 15:39, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WSJ resource[edit]

ZTE to Launch High-End Smartphone in U.S. DECEMBER 8, 2011, 6:56 A.M. ET (page B7 in print) Wall Street Journal by YUN-HEE KIM, excerpt ...

ZTE Corp. plans to launch a high-end smartphone in the U.S. in the middle of next year, an executive said, marking a change from its low-cost emphasis and putting it in head-to-head competition with the likes of Apple Inc., HTC Corp., Samsung Electronics Co. and Nokia Corp. in a high-end market that's growing ever more crowded. "By 2015, we expect the U.S. to be the largest market for handsets for ZTE," Lixin Cheng, president of the Chinese company's North American region, said in an interview Wednesday in Hong Kong.

Controversies - Iran[edit]

The source sentences, from the already given cite, for my addition that was reverted is:

'According to a spokesman for the U.S. Treasury Dept., a U.S. company would violate sanctions "if it exports products requiring a license to a third party with the knowledge that its products will end up in Iran." In the case of the U.S. products on the ZTE packing list, many - and possibly all - do not require an export license and the companies say they did not know they were being shipped to Iran.'

and

'sanctions have not specifically targeted Iran's telecommunications industry ... European Union diplomats said the bloc's 27 governments had reached an agreement in principle to target telecommunications equipment ... But no final decision has been made and there is no target date for implementing such a ban.'

I think those fully justify my addition of "However many of these U.S. products, possibly all, do not require an export license. There are no current international restrictions on exporting telecommunications equipment to Iran.", and I will reinstate it unless anyone can explain why my precis of the already given source id flawed.

Status of ZTE[edit]

As of right now, ZTE as a company still exists. They could theoretically come out of it (albeit unlikely). All the filing (pdf warning) says is that they're ending major operations, but it does specifically state that they have enough money to comply with commercial and legal requirements. Frood 03:06, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The lede is a bit confusing: it starts with the present tense ("is") but quickly moves to past tense ("operated") with no explanation. The tenses should be brought into accord with each other and with the present (changing) condition. Kdammers (talk) 04:18, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wording[edit]

" ZTE was fined a total of US$1.19 billion by the U.S. Department of Commerce of President Donald J. Trump " -- The last part of this sentence seems strange. Is there some special reason it is included?Kdammers (talk) 10:13, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The founding of ZTE part[edit]

How did it come that the Ministry of Aerospace (missing Industry?) did business with telecommunication industry? And the reference [8] reveals nothing relevant with the MoA(E). --Flycici (talk) 13:35, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Flycici: Did you know China Aerospace International Holdings was in fact a plastic factory? It is weird in China that in the 1980s, every ministry start their own for-profit business on top of strategic industry, so it is not so weird for ZTE owner. Lenovo was owned by Legend Holdings, which in turn significantly owned by Chinese Academy of Sciences. Also, Peking University was the owner of Founder Group and real estate developer Peking University Resources (Holdings). Despite it is clear that Ministry of Aerospace is part owner of ZTE, the elaboration of the relations should be supported by WP:RS. Matthew hk (talk) 19:02, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Information on US bans- move to controversies section[edit]

Right now the information on US sanctions and import ban on ZTE is in the history section but there is also a controversies section at the end that includes information on the US, Philippines and Norway. This gives the U.S. actions more weight- should the information to the controversies section or its own section? Srbsf7 (talk) 02:25, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The controversies section should probably be integrated into the company's history and not be a stand-alone 'Controversy' section per WP:CSECTION. - Amigao (talk) 20:56, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Chairman outdated[edit]

Chairman info is date from 2017, a update press release from zte web site have a new chairman. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2804:10BC:432:8500:A522:180:4299:2F66 (talk) 22:02, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Context is necessary[edit]

@Amigao: What is your reasoning to remove sourced information that shows The context that even most western firms headquartered in EU, are not divesting from Russia? It is very misleading and frankly an unfair criticism to single out ZTE and make it seem like they are the very few companies refusing to divest. Because that's giving a false impression. If you disagree I suggest we take it to neutral pov noticeboard as I believe such context is not only necessary. It is absolutely critical to not mislead others in thinking that ZTE is doing something that most companies in the world isn't doing. Context is very necessary here to not mislead. Truth721 (talk) 21:10, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You need a WP:RS that actually mentions ZTE for such context. - Amigao (talk) 21:13, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
