HONG KONG (Reuters) - A U.S. ban on sales of American components to ZTE Corp (0763.HK) (000063.SZ) has unleashed a patriotic backlash in Chinas cyberspace, highlighting the growing tension between the worlds two largest economies.
The United States this week imposed a ban on American companies selling parts and software to ZTE for seven years, saying it had broken a settlement agreement with repeated false statements - a move that threatens to cut off the Chinese firms supply chain.
Sympathy for ZTE has swept Chinese social media while most domestic newspapers have chosen to put the lions share of the blame for the telecom equipment makers troubles on Chinas heavy reliance on foreign semiconductors.
The U.S. action comes at a time when the two countries have threatened each other with tens of billions of dollars in tariffs in recent weeks, fanning worries of a full blown trade war.
