Reuters reported on Wednesday, referring to the court file, which clearly states that “both entities have agreed to end the lawsuit”, the US government and Xiaomi.

However, officially, none of the parties informed about the dispute. Asked by Reuters, spokeswoman Xiaomi merely said that “the company is closely following developments”. She declined any further comment.

A law known as the NDAA has banned Washington from using Huawei and ZTE equipment in government offices in the past due to security risks. The addition of Xiaomi to the US blacklist meant that US investors would have to sell all their stakes in the companies concerned by November this year.

The US administration’s blacklisting of Xiaomi was justified, as in the past, by concerns about national security, as the authorities said “there is an unacceptable risk that the technology of the blacklisted companies will be used for military purposes.”

Xiaomi refused the accusation
However, Xiaomi repeatedly refused. “Xiaomi always complies with applicable legislative standards and operates in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of the countries in which it operates. The company reiterates that it provides products and services for civil and commercial use. At the same time, it confirms that it is in no way owned, controlled or affiliated with the Chinese military and that it is not a ‘Chinese Communist Army company’ as defined by the NDAA, “the earlier official statement of the Chinese company said.

But as can be seen from the lines above, after five months everything is different – Xiaomi will disappear from the black list. Although we will have to wait a while for the official confirmation.
