I'm not so sure. ZTE are quite weak internationally and don't ship a significant number of high-end devices. America is the primary market for ZTE thanks to long-running carrier partnerships. Losing US-made components will be painful for ZTE, but it's survivable. They can re-spin existing designs around MediaTek SoCs and keep most of their existing market share. Losing the US consumer market would have been a massive blow, undoing years of work that other Chinese smartphone manufacturers have failed to replicate. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bensin/2017/10/23/how-zte-did-what-other-chinese-phone-companies-couldnt-enter-the-u-s-and-japanese-market/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/bensin/2017/10/23/how-zte-did-w...
