Xiaomi has denied the allegations in its statement, asserting that the company has no connections to the military. This statement was a response to an initiative by a group of Republican congressmen who proposed to the U.S. Secretary of Defense to add the company to the 1260H list.
The company is confident that the accusations are unfounded and that their products should not be included in the specified list. It is worth noting that earlier, nine Republican lawmakers approached the Secretary of Defense with a proposal to include several Chinese tech companies in this list, including the startup DeepSeek and the robot manufacturer Unitree. The 1260H list does not imply immediate sanctions; however, it serves as a warning for American companies about potential risks of collaboration.
