The US Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) yesterday that includes a clause to reinstate a ban on Chinese hardware vendor ZTE.

The original ban was levied on ZTE in April this year. Back then, the Department of Commerce prohibited US companies from selling hardware and software to the Chinese vendor on charges of violating US-imposed sanctions by selling equipment to banned parties, and on accusations of being a national security threat after sharing data about its US customers with the Chinese government.
