Huawei was shut down in the United States in mid-May 2019, and since then, the US government has been monitoring several other companies as there are allegations of links to the Chinese authorities.
The last big tech name to enter the black list it's Xiaomi. THE company added to Entity List in January when the US government decided to label it as the Communist Chinese Military Company (CCMC).
The foreclosure decision was supposed to take effect on March 15, but it appears to have been suspended by U.S. federal judge Contreras, who ruled in Xiaomi's favor and temporarily suspended the White House's original decision.
Of course, Xiaomi is happy with this decision, and states that it only offers products to consumers, without ties to governments.
"The Company reiterates that it is a widespread, publicly traded, independent company offering consumer electronics exclusively for non-military but commercial use," Xiaomi said in a press release.
In addition, the Chinese company says it is now ready to fight the CCMC's definition, asking the court to abolish him permanently.
“The Company believes that the decisions to designate it as a 'Chinese Communist Military Corporation' are arbitrary and the judge agrees with it. The Company will continue to ask the court to declare the designation illegal and remove it permanently. Xiaomi is a young and energetic technology company. Over the years, the Company has offered amazing consumer electronics products such as smartphones and smart TVs with honest prices to consumers all over the world. The Company is committed to working with our global partners to enable everyone in the world to enjoy a better life through innovative technology."
Of course, there is no good news for Huawei, as it remains banned in the United States.
