    Xiaomi was one of nine companies designated as a CCMC on Jan. 14, 2021.

    Xiaomi filed a lawsuit over its inclusion on Jan. 29, 2021, against DoD and its Secretary, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and its Secretary, and the U.S. president in the District Court (Xiaomi Corporation v. U.S. Department Of Defense et. al., Complaint; Civil Docket No. 21-cv-00280).

    On March 12, 2021, Judge Contreras issued an order preliminarily enjoining the implementation and enforcement of the prohibitions against Xiaomi, which the U.S. government decided not to appeal.

    Instead, the DoD indicated that it would settle the lawsuit and remove Xiaomi from the CCMC list.
