News on the afternoon of April 23, recently, a screenshot claiming to be an internal ZTE employee's voice circulated on the Internet. In response to the current criticism, the employee said that the facts were not exactly the same as what they saw on the news. ZTE was fined in 2016. Since then, a compliance team headed by the president has been established. The company is completely transparent to the United States, all emails and servers are open, and the FBI is stationed in the company. This time, there are no obvious violations, and it is a normal compliance process inspection.
As for the media report on ZTE's "strengthening compliance management, requiring every employee to re-learn European and American laws, regulations, anti-bribery and other knowledge, and to pass the compliance exam with 100 points (full marks)", the employee said It is a rumor, "There has never been any study of European and American law, but to study compliance and study compliance exams, not just now, but a routine action since 2016." The employee asked at the same time - "Do you imagine that a Chinese high-tech company is arbitrarily monitored by the FBI in the United States, and the data can be viewed at any time, what else can it be?"
"ZTE does not have any subjective desire to lie," the employee emphasized in the article, "One has been fully transparent. Second, the four top management. Including the president has dealt with it, and who else can't deal with it. Third, Knowing that there are still 300 million US dollars in fines waiting, why take this risk for a few people."
In addition, the employee also said that Huawei only designs some of its chips by itself, and there are very few of them. Regarding the opinion that "ZTE does not invest in chips, so there are such consequences", the employee believes that the biggest problem in China is that it does not have its own production technology. Even if the chips are designed by themselves, they are produced with American technology. Yes, even the software that designs the chips is American. "If you are not allowed to use it, how do you simulate the algorithm? Therefore, any company sanctioned by the United States will die immediately."
The following is the full text of the screenshots of ZTE employees' voices on the Internet:
A ZTE employee's explanation for the various criticisms on the Internet is not exactly the same as what you see on the news:
1. ZTE has been fined for 16 years for violations, so it paid a fine of nearly 900 million US dollars, but this time there is no obvious violation, it is a normal compliance process inspection.
2. Don’t confuse the 16-year penalty with this prohibition order. After 16 years, ZTE has established a compliance team headed by the president. The company is completely transparent to the United States, and all emails and servers are open. FBI resident company. Moreover, emails and documents must be kept for more than 5 years, ready to be checked by the old beauty at any time.
3. What you are talking about are rumors. There has never been any study of European and American laws. It is to study compliance and study compliance exams. It is not just starting now, and it has been a routine action since 2016. I don't know where you heard and learned about European and American laws. Since 16, ZTE has spent more than 50 million US dollars to hire the most professional compliance team in the United States. The team leader is an American.
4. Regarding training, this is a regular training test. Is there any problem? Not sure what the focus of your discussion is? This training exam, we have been training frequently since we were punished in 2016, which itself is to strengthen compliance work. This is our sincerity to the US Department of Commerce in 2016. That is to say, we sincerely want to correct the problem. You want all emails and documents to be transparent. In this case, there is no reason to have the subjective will to do illegal behavior.
5. This is after paying the fine in 2016. In order to get the order again, the terms we signed can no longer be servile. Do you imagine that a Chinese high-tech company is randomly monitored by the US FBI and can check the data at any time, what else can it do? Therefore, this punishment is unacceptable to ZTE.
6. I found that the current articles often mix things up in 16 years and now. I just said about 16 years and I accept punishment. Now I say 35 people in 18 years. First of all, this is not the content of the commitment clause. , and the follow-up communication and negotiation process is a normal negotiation process.
7. Similar, the United States said that you want to punish these people, and then the compliance team went to check and found that some people were punished without publishing an announcement, so they wrote an email to the United States, which was a normal exchange. And the email also informed that, yes, we have missed, but now make up.
8. ZTE does not have any subjective desire to lie, one has been fully transparent. Second, the four highest levels. Including the president has dealt with it, and who can't deal with it. Third, knowing that there will be a fine of 300 million US dollars waiting for the follow-up, why take this risk for a few people.
9. The matter of these 35 people was not written in the penalty agreement before. It was a matter in the negotiation process itself. During the negotiation process, the United States suddenly announced a prohibition order, and there was no follow-up investigation or negotiation.
10. Anyway, I am inside ZTE. Since 2016, I have often learned about compliance and various requirements. Everyone thinks that ZTE is stupid and cannot do it properly. I don't think there are many domestic companies that can match the current compliance team of ZTE. This is the learning outcome after paying a $900 million fine. Really the whole company takes it very seriously. And I study often. I just said that I have to study every month since 16 years.
11. The compliance examination has been taken countless times, including management cadres and ordinary employees. I never thought that this would become news. How could it be possible? Who dares to ignore such tuition fees, the head of the compliance team is the company president. We sincerely corrected our mistakes, changed the chairman and president, and the new leaders always regard compliance as the most important thing for the company.
12. Now there is still an argument, saying that ZTE does not invest in chips, so there are such consequences. Many similar fpga, dsp China does not have, and the operating system is the United States, the computer can not be used.
13. In any case, similar opinions can be written in the news, and they are all tired of reading.
14. You may not understand the production process of chips. The biggest problem in China is that it does not have its own production technology. Even if the chips are designed by themselves, they are produced using American technology, and even the software for designing the chips is also American. For example, the matlab simulation software, which is from the United States, does not allow you to use it. How do you simulate the algorithm? Therefore, any company sanctioned by the United States will die immediately.
15. Huawei only designs some of its own chips, and there are very few of them. The amplifiers and digital-to-analog conversion chips are only available in the United States. In fact, this prohibition order means that you cannot use any American technology. system, the Android operating system does not let you use it, you can't do anything.
16. Interlaced like a mountain, I found that everyone's perceptions are indeed very different, no, but our company has employees on planes, business trips to support projects, after-sales engineers, our country's high-tech is not a simple chip problem, and all industry chain problems.
17. Everyone felt that there was no voice from ZTE, which may have something to do with our company’s emphasis on discipline and not allowing private comments on this incident. Now everyone can’t stand it anymore, so I started to ignore it. Like I said so much today, it was not before yesterday. Allowed.
