For companies like Zhongxing Telecommunication Equipment (ZTE), it is not only about penalties now, but also about the increased costs for the number of years of "probation periods".
In some cases, the government can impose punishment if the exporter from third company does not strictly follow US laws. For example, the company will still be sanctioned if the goods are transported from the third companies to the forbidden countries.
