finally,XIAOMI Group ushered in a historical moment, the lawsuit against the US government has been settled!

On May 11, 2021, the XIAOMI Group and the US Department of Defense once again issued a joint status report (Joint Status Report, JSR) on the military inventory lawsuit:

Four meanings are expressed in the joint report:

1. According to the previous joint report, the parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit peacefully (the original without the need for contested briefing)

2. Considering the temporary injunction already in force and the decision of the Ministry of Defense not to appeal against the temporary injunctionThe Defense Ministry and other defendants agreed that it was appropriate to use the final resolution (final order) to remove XIAOMI Group from the military list of January 14 (vacating).

3. The final decision to remove the list is understandable when the court has found that a military injunction violates procedural justice (APA).

4. The two sides will consult on the details of the final resolution, which is expected to be submitted to the court on or before May 20.

The above four layers of meaning are added together, that is to say:The United States government has acknowledged the issue of procedural justice on the military list and is willing to cooperate withXIAOMI Group reconciled and XIAOMI Group was removed from the military list..

Grain factory researchers have analyzed it many times.Settlement is the best litigation result that XIAOMI Group can win. On the one hand, it can avoid a protracted trial and quickly ease the concerns of the capital market about XIAOMI; on the other hand, XIAOMI must have won more guarantees in the process of reconciliation to avoid being sanctioned again in the short term.

As for the result of the settlement between the two sides, grain factory researchers believe that it isUnexpected, but reasonable.

First of all, it is unexpected that reconciliation can be achieved in the context of tense Sino-US relations.

Grain factory researchers have previously analyzed that the military list is only a card in the context of Sino-US relations and is definitely ranked low compared with other political interests under the diplomatic framework of both sides. In view of the current relatively tense Sino-US relations, it is really very difficult for XIAOMI Group to win this reconciliation.

Second,The US government has taken a very negative response to litigation.Oh, it makes sense..

(1) abandoning the provisional injunction on appealIt was mentioned in the joint report on April 27 that the acting Attorney General of the Ministry of Justice had decided not to appeal against the temporary injunction, which is a typical operation of the procrastination war.(2) delay in the submission of defence materialsOn April 2, the US Department of Defense applied for a delay in the submission of defense materials for the lawsuit itself.

Last,The Biden administration is already in the process of revising military ban standards to prevent potential lawsuits..

The Biden administration is considering revising Trump-era military list standards, according to the Politics website on May 4. The news was released at the same time as the basket obtained a temporary injunction, which directly shows that the Biden government has given up XIAOMI and the basket case.The standard of military list needs to be revised as soon as possible to prevent other companies on the list from using it as a precedent to challenge the Biden administration one after another..

As the two sides reach a settlement, the updated series of XIAOMI Group v. the US government is coming to an end, and then only need to wait for a formal resolution and announcement. Thank you very much for your support. Let's hope that more wonderful things will happen soon.
