US to remove Xiaomi from government blacklist
    2021-05-13  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

The U.S. Department of Defense will remove China’s Xiaomi Corp. from a government blacklist, a U.S. court filing showed yesterday, clearing the way for any future American investment in the Beijing-based smartphone maker.

The filing stated that the two parties would agree to resolve their ongoing litigation without further contest, bringing to an end a brief spat between Xiaomi and Washington.

A Xiaomi spokeswoman said the company is watching the latest developments closely, without elaborating.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Defense, under the Trump administration, designated the firm as having ties to China’s military and placed it on a list that would restrict U.S. investment in the company.

Seven other Chinese companies were also placed under similar restrictions.

Xiaomi went on the offensive by filing a lawsuit against the U.S. government, calling its placement “unlawful and unconstitutional” and denying any ties to China’s military.

In March, under the new Biden administration, a federal judge temporarily blocked enforcement of the blacklisting, citing the U.S. government’s “deeply flawed” process for including it in the ban.

Soon after that victory, other Chinese firms placed on the same blacklist were considering similar lawsuits.

Xiaomi was among the more high-profile Chinese technology companies that former U.S. President Donald Trump targeted for alleged ties to China’s military in the waning days of his administration.

Trump had made countering the rise of China a centerpiece of his administration’s economic and foreign policy.
