美国制裁中兴通讯引发广泛关注 - 中兴,中兴通讯 - IT资讯
因涉嫌违反美国对伊朗的所谓“出口管制”政策，中国著名电信设备制造商中兴通讯日前遭到美国商务部处罚。美商务部下令限制中兴通讯在美国的供应商向中兴（中国）出口产品。
美国商务部针对中兴的出口限制令指出，美国供应商在向中兴通讯出口任何货物前，均需向美商务部申请许可。通常而言，这些出口发货申请会被拒绝。据悉，这一出口限制令适用于全球任何一家打算将产品从美国运往中兴通讯（中国）的公司。根据美国相关法律规定，中兴可以对此限制令提出上诉。
中兴通讯相关负责人对此回应表示，中兴通讯已注意到关于美国商务部将对中兴通讯实施出口限制措施的相关报道。公司目前经营正常，正在全面评估此事件对公司可能产生的影响，与各方面积极沟通以便应对。随后，中兴通讯发布正式声明称：其一，作为深港两地上市的全球化公司，中兴通讯致力于遵循国际行业惯例及所在国法律法规。其二，中兴通讯一直以来积极配合美国所有相关机构的调查，并将继续保持合作态度，同时与有关各方保持沟通，致力于寻求尽快解决事件的方案。
中兴已停止在伊朗业务
长期以来，美国政府针对伊朗一直执行高科技产品出口禁运令。美国商务部对中兴的调查，关注焦点在于中兴在购买了美国产品后，是否将这些产品运往伊朗，从而违反了美国对伊朗的制裁政策。
2012年美国媒体报道称，美国商务部调查发现，中兴公司与伊朗最大的电信运营商签署了总值数百万美元的电脑软件和硬件产品合同，这些产品来自一些美国知名科技公司，中兴这一举措违反了美国对伊朗的高科技产品出口禁令。但包括微软、IBM、惠普、甲骨文、戴尔以及其他一些美国厂商纷纷表示对此合同并不知情。当时中兴公司曾作出回应，称该公司将“限制”其在伊朗的业务；随后再度发表声明称：“未来中兴公司在伊朗将不再发展新客户，并对现有客户的业务活动作出限制。”
制裁引发广泛关注 中国政府明确反对
对于美国政府的制裁决定，中国政府相关部门迅速作出反应。商务部发表声明表示，美国时间3月7日，美国商务部在其网站发布消息，以违反美国出口管制法规为由将中兴通讯公司等中国企业列入“实体清单”，对中兴公司采取限制出口措施，中方对此表示强烈不满和坚决反对。
中兴公司一直在积极从事国际化经营，与数百家美国企业开展了广泛的贸易投资合作，为美国贡献了数以万计的就业岗位。美方此举将严重影响中国企业的正常经营活动。中方将继续与美方就此问题进行交涉。
外交部发言人洪磊也在回应美国商务部拟对中兴公司出口进行限制称，中方一贯坚决反对美方利用其国内法制裁中国企业。中方敦促美方不要采取此种错误做法，以免损害中美经贸合作和两国关系。
据本报记者了解，中兴通讯与美国相关企业有紧密的合作关系，每年在美国的软硬件采购金额高达数十亿美元。制裁中兴通讯，不仅会对中国企业造成严重影响，也会对美国相关企业的经营活动造成巨大损失，而且还会影响美国至关重要的就业岗位。美国的制裁其实是损人不利己。
事实上，美国政府制裁中国通信设备企业已非首次。早在2012年，美国就以华为、中兴违反美国337条款为由对中方企业发起调查，并以威胁美国国家安全为由，禁止美国电信运营商采购华为、中兴等中资企业的电信设备，致使华为、中兴等公司在进入美国电信市场时受到阻碍，严重影响了中国公司在美国正常经营活动的开展。此次美国又以本国法律法规为尺度，单方面制裁中国公司，置中美经贸和外交关系大局于不顾，理所当然招致中国政府的强烈反应。
中兴通讯深港两地紧急停牌
作为世界排名第四、中国内地最大的通信设备上市公司，中兴通讯股票分别在深圳和香港两地挂牌交易。遭美国制裁的消息传出后，中兴通讯股票被迫在深港两地紧急停牌，暂停交易。随后该公司正式发布重大事项停牌公告。公告称，中兴通讯股份有限公司获知美国商务部拟对中兴通讯实施出口限制措施，公司正在全面评估此事件对公司可能产生的影响，并与各方面积极沟通。鉴于该事项存在重大不确定性，为保证公平信息披露、维护投资者利益、避免造成公司股价异常波动，经公司申请，中兴通讯股票自2016年3月7日开市起停牌。停牌期间，公司将根据事项进展情况及时履行信息披露义务。
中兴通讯将如何应对美国商务部的制裁措施、中美两国政府将如何就此进行交涉，引人注目。本报将持续对此事件进行跟踪和关注。
