Significant boost for ZTE

"Moving forward, ZTE will maintain the attitude of openness and transparency, abide by the laws and regulations where business happens, and adopt and develop the best security practices in the industry."
The news is significant since ZTE and Huawei are two Chinese businesses that are banned from selling any new equipment in the US and have faced many challenges from other countries. The US also charged the companies by posting "an unacceptable risk" to US national security.
