Well, I guess it's time to stop buying Xiaomi devices. Sad though, I did like a lot of their non-phone stuff. Their umbrella is one of the better ones out there, even more expensive brands like Knirips doesn't have the features it has.
Global Xiaomi roms isn't quite the same as Chinese roms. MIUI has been being the most open and safe smartphone ware in the domestic market, although that might sound funny. Whether their products are still safe to use needs further inpection.
