Earlier this year we could see how, before Trump left office, Xiaomi was added to the blacklist of the United States government preventing American investors from investing in the company. Another veto similar to the one that the United States imposed on Huawei almost 2 years ago and that has forced the company to make major changes, including selling the Honor division so that it can continue to advance as an independent brand.
In this case Xiaomi was accused of belonging to the communist Chinese army, but we can see on Bloomberg What a judge in the United States has agreed with Xiaomi and has paralyzed this veto arguing that the measure was arbitrary and capricious. Likewise, Judge Contreras has indicated that Xiaomi is likely to get a total revocation of this veto to avoid damage irreparable In the company, damages like those that Huawei has obtained forced even to market its phones with its own operating system.
Although Xiaomi and Huawei are not the only case of these vetoes, let’s remember how popular Chinese software has also been vetoed. The fashion video app Tik Tok has been banned for members of the Chinese military, so has the popular messaging app WeChat, these apps will not be able to have them installed on their mobile phones, since they have been listed as a security threat.

I am a Computer Engineer and my specialty is automation and robotics. My passion for hardware began at age 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and 210MB of hard drive. I continue to unleash my passion in the technical articles I write at Geeknetic. I dedicate most of my free time to video games, contemporary and retro, on the more than 20 consoles that I have, in addition to the PC.
