ZTE has been banned from purchasing any hardware and software from any US based companies. this includes chips from qualcomm and android os from google. Going to make things interesting if they wanted to keep selling phones in the US. If they use chinese hardware, they could go the way of huawei and be a security threat. And what other choice do they have for an operating system?

To date, ZTE paid the $890 million penalties and fired the four senior employees, but has yet to reprimand the 35 other employees. This means that not only did ZTE break U.S. trade law and attempt to cover it up, but it is not following through with the punishments for that transgression.

In response to this, also via Reuters, the U.S. Department of Commerce is banning American companies from selling any products (hardware or software) to ZTE for the next seven years.

ZTE can no longer use US hardware in its products, says US government

They will most likely be absorbed by a larger Chinese manufacturer which isn't covered by the ban.
