Xiaomi had been
placed on their blacklist
, without the American Secretariats for Defense and the Treasury having demonstrated that the interests of national security were at stake. This was the opinion of the judge who immediately ordered to remove the Chinese manufacturer from this list, at least temporarily.
It is now forbidden to qualify the company as a “
Chinese Communist military company
”.
And American investors who wish to buy the shares of the Chinese group can do so.
Huawei, threat to national security
The judge's decision comes as another Chinese giant, Huawei, has just been classified as a national security threat again.
According to the US telecoms regulator,
