Goodbye blacklist
Xiaomi, during the Trump administration, ended up on the famous blacklist of entities with which American companies cannot have commercial relations, the same one that Huawei has sadly also ended up on. The new US government has now finally decided to remove the restrictions put in place against Lei Jun's company.Xiaomi has nothing to do with the Chinese army and does not pose a threat to the security of the United States. In this way we could summarize the recent events that have finally seen the removal of Xiaomi's name from the infamous blacklist of "prohibited companies".
After being included in the American blacklist precisely because of the administration's accusations Trump, which indicated a possible relationship between the Chinese military and the technology company, Xiaomi had initiated legal proceedings against the US government.
Now the latter, administered by President Joe Biden, has reached a new agreement: Xiaomi has managed to prove that it is not owned or controlled by the Chinese military, so the US Department of Defense (DoD) has excluded it from the commercial ban. As reported by Bloomberg, this sent the company's shares up on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange by 6.7% after the news was published.
“The Biden administration is deeply concerned about potential US investments in companies linked to the Chinese military and fully committed to maintaining pressure on such companies, ”said Emily Horne, a spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council.
A story with a happy ending for Xiaomi, a decidedly different ending from what happened to Huawei. The company led by CEO Ren Zhengfei has suffered much worse consequences with the exclusion from tenders for the construction of 5G infrastructures in various countries around the world and the inability to collaborate with Google for the use of American software on their smartphones. resulting in the birth of HarmonyOS and Huawei AppGallery.
