Corporate identity

[edit]

Name etymology

[edit]

Xiaomi(Gạo kê) is the Chinese word for "millet".[104]In 2011 its CEOLei Junsuggested there are more meanings than just the "millet and rice".[105]He linked the "Xiao" (Tiểu) part to theBuddhistconcept that "a single grain of rice of a Buddhist is as great as a mountain",[106]suggesting that Xiaomi wants to work from the little things, instead of starting by striving for perfection,[105]while "mi" (Mễ) is an acronym for Mobile Internet and also "mission impossible", referring to the obstacles encountered in starting the company.[105][107]He also stated that he thinks the name is cute.[105]In 2012 Lei Jun said that the name is about revolution and being able to bring innovation into a new area.[108]Xiaomi's new "Rifle" processor[109]has given weight to several sources linking the latter meaning to theChinese Communist Party's"millet and rifle" ( gạo kê thêm súng trường ) revolutionary idiom[110][111]during theSecond Sino-Japanese War.[112][113][114][115]

Xiaomi's first logo consisted of a single orange square with the letters "MI" in white located in the center of the square. This logo was in use until 31 March 2021, when a new logo, designed by well-known Japanese designerKenya Hara,replaced the old one, consisting of the same basic structure as the previous logo, but the square was replaced with a "squircle"with rounded corners instead, and with the letters" MI "remaining identical to the previous logo, along with a slightly darker hue.

Xiaomi's mascot, Mitu, is a whiterabbitwearing anUshanka(known locally as a "Lei Fenghat "in China) with a red star and a red scarf around its neck.[116][117]Later on, the red star on the hat was replaced by the company's logo.[118]

To achieve that goal, Xiaomi will invest US$15.7 billion in R&D over the next five years, and the company will benchmark its products and user experience against Apple's product lines.[121]Lei described the new strategy as a "life-or-death battle for our development" in his Weibo post, after Xiaomi's market share in China contracted over consecutive quarters, from 17% to 14% between Q2 and Q3 2021, dipping further to 13.2% as of Q4 2021.[122][123][124]

Reception

[edit]

Imitation of Apple Inc.

[edit]

Xiaomi has been accused of imitatingApple Inc.[141][142]Thehunger marketingstrategy of Xiaomi was described as riding on the back of the "cult of Apple".[15]

After reading a book aboutSteve Jobsin college, Xiaomi's chairman and CEO,Lei Jun,carefully cultivated aSteve Jobsimage, including jeans, dark shirts, and Jobs' announcement style at Xiaomi's earlier product announcements.[143][144][145][146]He was characterized as a "counterfeit Jobs."[147][148]

In 2013, critics debated how many of Xiaomi's products were innovative,[146][20][149]and how much of their innovation was just really good public relations.[149]

Others point out that while there are similarities to Apple, the ability to customize the software based upon user preferences through the use of Google's Android operating system sets Xiaomi apart.[150]Xiaomi has also developed a much wider range of consumer products than Apple.[122]

Violation of GNU General Public License

[edit]

In January 2018, Xiaomi was criticized for its non-compliance with the terms of theGNU General Public License.The Android project'sLinuxkernel is licensed under thecopyleftterms of the GPL, which requires Xiaomi to distribute the complete source code of the Android kernel and device trees for every Android device it distributes. By refusing to do so, or by unreasonably delaying these releases, Xiaomi is operating in violation of intellectual property law in China, as aWIPOstate.[151]Prominent Android developer Francisco Franco publicly criticized Xiaomi's behaviour after repeated delays in the release of kernel source code.[152]Xiaomi in 2013 said that it would release the kernel code.[153]The kernel source code was available on theGitHubwebsite in 2020.[154]

Privacy concerns and data collection

[edit]

As a company based in China, Xiaomi is obligated to share data with the Chinese government under theChina Internet Security LawandNational Intelligence Law.[155][156]There were reports that Xiaomi's Cloud messaging service sends some private data, including call logs and contact information, to Xiaomi servers.[157][158]Xiaomi later released an MIUI update that made cloud messaging optional and that no private data was sent to Xiaomi servers if the cloud messaging service was turned off.[159]

On 23 October 2014, Xiaomi announced that it was setting up servers outside of China for international users, citing improved services and compliance to regulations in several countries.[160]

On 19 October 2014, theIndian Air Forceissued a warning against Xiaomi phones, stating that they were a national threat as they sent user data to an agency of the Chinese government.[161]

In April 2019, researchers atCheck Pointfound a security breach in Xiaomi phone apps.[162][163]The security flaw was reported to be preinstalled.[164]

On 30 April 2020,Forbesreported that Xiaomi extensively tracks use of its browsers, including private browser activity, phone metadata and device navigation, and more alarmingly, without secure encryption ordata anonymization,more invasively and to a greater extent than mainstream browsers. Xiaomi disputed the claims, while confirming that it did extensively collect browsing data, and saying that the data was not linked to any individuals and that users had consented to being tracked.[165]Xiaomi posted a response stating that the collection of aggregated usage statistics data is used for internal analysis, and would not link any personally identifiable information to any of this data.[166]However, after a follow-up by Gabriel Cirlig, the writer of the report, Xiaomi added an option to completely stop the information leak when using its browser in incognito mode.[167]

Censorship

[edit]

In September 2021, amidst a political spat betweenChinaandLithuania,theLithuanianMinistry of National Defenceurged people to dispose the Chinese-made mobile phones and avoid buying new ones,[168]after theNational Cyber Security Centre of Lithuaniaclaimed that Xiaomi devices have built-in censorship capabilities that can be turned on remotely.[169]

Xiaomi denied the accusations, saying that it "does not censor communications to or from its users", and that they would be engaging a third-party to assess the allegations. They also stated that regarding data privacy, it was compliant with two frameworks for following Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), namely its ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management Standards and the ISO/IEC 27701 Privacy Information Management System.[170]

[edit]

State administration of radio, film and television issue

[edit]

In November 2012, Xiaomi's smart set-top box stopped working one week after the launch due to the company having run foul of China'sNational Radio and Television Administration.[171][172][173]The regulatory issues were overcome in January 2013.[174]

Misleading sales figures

[edit]

TheTaiwanese Fair Trade Commissioninvestigated the flash sales and found that Xiaomi had sold fewer smartphones than advertised.[175]Xiaomi claimed that the number of smartphones sold was 10,000 units each for the first twoflash sales,and 8,000 units for the third one. However, FTC investigated the claims and found that Xiaomi sold 9,339 devices in the first flash sale, 9,492 units in the second one, and 7,389 for the third.[176]It was found that during the first flash sale, Xiaomi had given 1,750 priority ‘F-codes’ to people who could place their orders without having to go through the flash sale, thus diminishing the stock that was publicly available. The FTC fined XiaomiNT$600,000.[177]

Shut down of Australia store

[edit]

In March 2014, Xiaomi Store Australia (an unrelated business) began selling Xiaomi mobile phones online in Australia through its website, XiaomiStore.au.[178]However, Xiaomi soon requested that the store be shut down by 25 July 2014.[178]On 7 August 2014, shortly after sales were halted, the website was taken down.[178]An industry commentator described the action by Xiaomi to get the Australian website closed down as unprecedented, saying, "I’ve never come across this [before]. It would have to be a strategic move."[178]At the time this left only one online vendor selling Xiaomi mobile phones into Australia, namely Yatango (formerly MobiCity), which was based in Hong Kong.[178]This business closed in late 2015.[179]

Temporary ban in India due to patent infringement

[edit]

On 9 December 2014, theDelhi High Courtgranted anex parteinjunction that banned the import and sale of Xiaomi products in India. The injunction was issued in response to a complaint filed by Ericsson in connection with the infringement of its patent licensed underreasonable and non-discriminatory licensing.[180]The injunction was applicable until 5 February 2015, the date on which the High Court was scheduled to summon both parties for a formal hearing of the case. On 16 December, the High Court granted permission to Xiaomi to sell its devices running on a Qualcomm-based processor until 8 January 2015.[181]Xiaomi then held various sales onFlipkart,including one on 30 December 2014. Its flagship Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G phone sold out in six seconds.[182]A judge extended the division bench's interim order, allowing Xiaomi to continue the sale of Qualcomm chipset-based handsets until March 2018.[183]

Lawsuit by KPN alleging patent infringement

[edit]

On 19 January 2021,KPN,a Dutch landline and mobile telecommunications company, sued Xiaomi and others forpatent infringement.KPN filed similar lawsuits against Samsung in 2014 and 2015 in a court in the US.[184]

Lawsuit by Wyze alleging invalid patent

[edit]

In July 2021, Xiaomi submitted a report to Amazon alleging thatWyze Labshad infringed upon its 2019 "Autonomous Cleaning Device and Wind Path Structure of Same" robot vacuum patent.

Further information:United States sanctions against China

In January 2021, towards the end of thepresidency of Donald Trump,the United States government named Xiaomi as a company "owned or controlled" by thePeople's Liberation Armyand therebyprohibitedany American company or individual from investing in it.[190]However, the investment ban was blocked by a US court ruling after Xiaomi filed a lawsuit in theUnited States District Court for the District of Columbia,with the court expressing skepticism regarding the government's national security concerns.[191]Xiaomi denied the allegations of military ties and stated that its products and services were of civilian and commercial use.[192]In May 2021, Xiaomi reached an agreement with the Defense Department to remove the designation of the company as military-linked.[193]

Sponsoring the Russian invasion of Ukraine

[edit]

After the beginning ofRussian invasion of UkraineXiaomi reported the suspension of operations in Russia, but in July 2022, Xiaomi and its sub-brand POCO together held 42% of the Russian smartphone market, ranking first in terms of sales.[194]On 13 April 2023 Xiaomi Corporation and 13 Xiaomi officials (responsible key management), namelyLei Jun,Lin Bin,Lu Weibing, Liu De, Zhang Feng, Zeng Xuezhong, Yan Kesheng, Lam Sai Wai Alain, Zhu Dan, Wang Xiaoyan, Qu Heng, Ma Ji and Yu Man, were listed by Ukraine'sNational Agency on Corruption Prevention(NACP) on their list of "international sponsors of war"[195]because the company continued its operations in Russia after Russia's invasion and remained a leader in smartphone sales there.[195][196][197]

Finland's reaction to Xiaomi's Russia operations

[edit]

Chinese smartphone brands continued to gain market share in Russia filling the gap left by Western brands which withdrew following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to a local retailer.[198]

On 21 September 2023, Telia, DNA, and Elisa, Finland's major mobile carriers, halted the sale of Xiaomi Technology products due to the company's ongoing business activities in Russia.[199]This decision reflects the company's commitment to maintaining its operations in Russia despite theUkraine invasion.The Finnish carriers' move came after Xiaomi faced several challenges in its European business in 2023.

In addition to this, the EU has implemented a ban on exporting various goods to Russia, including semiconductors crucial for smartphone manufacturing. Xiaomi's ongoing operations in Russia have sparked debate. While the company asserts its obligation to serve Russian customers and support its employees, some contend that it indirectly supports the Russian government financially.[200]
