Xiaomi Sues U.S. Defense, Treasury Departments to Get Off Banned List

Xiaomi Corp filed a complaint in a Washington district court against the U.S. Defense and Treasury Departments, seeking to remove the Chinese smartphone maker from an official list of companies with ties to China’s military. The Defense Department, under the Trump administration in mid-January, added Xiaomi and eight other companies to the list, which requires American investors to divest their holdings in the firms by a set deadline.
