Earlier, the Lithuanian Ministry of Defense advised users to avoid buying Chinese phones and urged them to throw away existing ones, justifying this by the fact that Xiaomi flagship phones allegedly have a built-in ability to detect and censor phrases such as “Free Tibet”, “Long live the independence of Taiwan”, “movement for democracy “, etc.

The Chinese manufacturer immediately commented on the accusation, assuring that its devices do not censor messages sent by users or the text they enter. Moreover, on Monday, Xiaomi announced that it had hired independent security experts to verify and assess the allegations of the Lithuanian Ministry of Defense.
