Xiaomi proved they might be illegal

Chinese companies targeted by a sweeping investment ban imposed by former President Donald Trump are considering suing the US government after a federal judge on Friday suspended a similar blacklisting for Xiaomi.

Apparently, the firms have been on the blower to top law firms including Steptoe & Johnson and Hogan Lovells and have been emboldened by U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras’ preliminary order halting Xiaomi’s inclusion on a US list of alleged Communist Chinese military companies that are subject to an investment ban.

“The facts that led to Xiaomi’s designation are almost laughable, and I think it absolutely is going to lead to additional companies seeking relief”, said Washington lawyer Brian Egan, a former legal adviser in both the White House and State Department who also works at Steptoe.
