Xiaomi strikes back. Sends blacklist lawsuit to U.S.
The situation around the trade restrictions aimed at the US tent, especially at the Chinese company Huawei, probably does not need to be explained at length. The company is facing major problems after breaking ties with hardware supplies and a ban on using Google applications. On a very similar but not so much affected list of unwanted ones recently also got Xiaomi. And it seems that he won’t let the thing just like him, so that he doesn’t accidentally get into the same situation as Huawei. She began to defend herself legally against the US government. A lawsuit is filed in the United States by Xiaomi seeking removal from the list.
In the document, the company responds to the fact that the US courts and authorities under the National Defense Act (NDAA) on January 14 (ie during the reign of Donald Trump) designated it as an entity linked to the Chinese Communist Army. The company rejects this and considers the whole statement to be incorrect. The lawsuit demands that the US remove Xiaomi immediately from the list of unwanted ones due to the interests of customers, investors and other partners. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. The popular brand, meanwhile, has jumped significantly in phone sales in recent months. Huawei also significantly outpaced.
How will the US authorities react?
