China's ZTE, which the US government has accused of repeated sanctions violations, has paid a $1 billion fine, and put $400 million in an escrow account, so that it can continue purchase technology, including semiconductor products, from American companies. What impact will the proposed ban bring to ZTE and the worldwide market? What position of the Chinese companies and American companies in the semiconductor industry? What kind of collaboration in that industry between US and China? How will China catch up to fill in the core technology gap that is revealed by the ZTE instance? And what opportunities exist for professionals and companies in the industry?
