The Trump administration has agreed to relax its punishment of Chinese telecom company ZTE, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said Thursday. 美国商务部长威尔伯·罗斯周四宣布，特朗普政府已经同意放宽对中国电信公司中兴通讯的处罚。 The company will pay a $1 billion fine and fund a new in-house compliance team staffed by U.S. experts, Ross told CNBC. 罗斯告诉CNBC（美国全国广播公司财经频道），该公司将支付10亿美元罚金并投资一个由美国专家组成的新的合规监管团队。 The move eases a seven-year ban on ZTE buying American parts, which Commerce levied in April. 这一举措缓和了四月商务部禁止中兴向美国购买零部件长达七年的禁令。 At the time, the Chinese government complained that the action could put the company, a major employer and star of the Chinese technology industry, out of business. 当时中国政府控诉道，此举可能会使这家公司，也就是中国技术产业的主要雇主和知名公司歇业破产。 “We are literally embedding a compliance department of our choosing into the company to monitor it going forward. They will pay for those people, but the people will report to the new chairman,” Ross said. “This is a pretty strict settlement.” “我们实际上是将我们选择的监管部门嵌入到公司中来监控它的发展。他们会付钱给那些人，但是那些人会向新主席报告，”罗斯说。“这是一个非常严格的解决办法。” |
