Zi wins competitive bid with major Chinese manufacturer

CALGARY, May 30 /CNW/ - Zi Corporation's (Nasdaq: ZICA) (TSE: ZIC)
eZiText(TM) technology will be embedded in Zhongxing's new series of GSM

domestic manufacturers authorized to produce mobile phones for the Chinese
market," says Kam Ching, director of Sales and Business Development of Zi

interface in consumer electronics.
"Zhongxing plans to produce over one million GSM phones for the domestic
market in the year 2000," says Dr. Gong Zhengjun, vice president of
Zhongxing's Mobile Products Division. "We have established our ZTE brand by
focusing all efforts on customer requirements and eZiText(TM) provides the
language interface that is needed to meet our customers' growing needs. Zi's
complete language offering also makes our product instantly accessible to
international markets."
Zhongxing has taken the lead in expanding business abroad by winning
large telecom contracts in Pakistan and Yugoslavia. Zhongxing products include
switching and access systems; GSM and CDMA infrastructure; videoconferencing
systems and mobile handsets. Zhongxing has research and development centers in
Shenzhen, Beijing, Nanjing, Xian, Chongqin, Shanghai, Korea and the United
