Please don't let it happen. Soon, Oppo, Vivo, Realme, and other chinese brands will be added to it. It will just make phone more expensive and incompetitive. Trump and others just need to stop. This will just make innovation slower. I assume Trump does this to make Apple seems better. Iphones are lazy, they are least innovating. Hope Biden can solve it. Trump is garbage minded

Wow! The Xiaomi employees / shills are in full overload every after this report but have the most of you have forgotten what Xiaomi has been caught lying multiple times?
Many sites *ahem* defends and hides Xiaomi practice because they get paid a lot of money from them to do so.
I'll just place this here.

[deleted post]That's you guys fault for not being able to compete with them. You guys are straight forward (sorry) garbage minded. Destroying competition by banning, not by winning naturally. That's cheating and unfair.

I think its Biden Administration, not Trump... moreTrump ordered the ban. Biden's administration doesn't start until his inauguration on 20 Jan.
The reason for the ban is that Xiaomi is a "Communist Chinese Military Company" which is utter nonsense.
The ban requires Americans and American companies to divest all investments in Xiaomi by Nov 2021. Xiaomi is a publicly traded company on the HK stock exchange.

So in 2022 you basically either get a Samsung (hopefully with an SnapDragon processor) or an Apple phone in Europe.

OK, so Facebook, Instagram and now even whatsapp can share my personal information with whoever they deem suitable to, and that's not privacy or personal data violation, and all the money it is making hy that is not either. But when a Chinese company shares some of its profit with the government, that would be considered unethical?? How low can this orange guy go further? 🤔

You people are clueless, even the author, about this report. This restriction is only for iUS nvestors/shares being freezed not products.
Xiaomi IS NOT ON THE ENITY LIST, yet, like Huawei, DJI, etc. from purchasing US goods!
And if it turns out that way, NO ADMINISTRATION CAN OVERTURN A BLACKLISTED COMPANY DUE TO NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS!
Sheesh!
The sheep in here, I tell ya.

I don't understand why too much sympathy towards China in GSMA? Just imagine, why Chinese Phones are so cheap? Only because of Cheap Labour? No, there is huge subsidy from the Government to take control over the world..... Just my thought

USA will literally need 10 years to recover the damage he did even is some manufacturers back its productions to USA. And even in that case prices willl be a lot higher, normal people lost product they can pay and also no where to go in medical health.
That jerk wasted money building a wall instead of better healthcare. Not hundreds of thousands of lives lost ... the people of death stating why that inept president cared more about his relationships and business than about people's lives.
Wasn't Mr. Rockefeller one of them with pharmaceutical companies interested in vaccines? If everything makes sense ... Insurance, vaccinations, etc. Obama may not have been perfect but he fought for what was important, now we have another bunch of motherfuc**rs as rulers ...

So ypu can not even beat them so you ban them shame on your administration Trump please compete the market with Huawei, Xiaomi, Apple and other brands
I'm not understanding what is happening?
I think its Biden Administration, not Trump's. Secondly, how is Mi is military company?
then you also said, "Xiaomi doesn’t seem to belong on this list with other industrial, aerospace, and chemical, and telecommunications companies – among others"
What is this news? I didn't get it?

In what way is Xiaomi a military company, lol.
And wouldn't it be in US interest to retain shares in Xiaomi instead of losing complete control? Trump working against US interest as always. He also shouldn't be making foreign policy decisions with only 5 days left in his term.

They should have sent him to jail years ago. It doesn't matter if you are a Republican or a Democrat. There are limits that are not admissible. That son of *** ***** Trump should have been removed from president from day one.

So xiaomi did the same thing that Huawei did, built a phone better than the iPhone. Huawei's p and mate pro did better, got banned. Mi 10 ultra did better, in terms of camera, so frightened that xiaomi might do as good as Huawei, so seems like the cry baby US decides to ban them as well. What a pity! What a shame! The trillion dollar company cannot innovate, so the easiest way to win. Ban the ones better than them. Very much expected.
