A Xiaomi spokesperson addressed the circulating online rumor—claiming that "Xiaomi employees vandalized vehicles from competing automakers"—via Weibo, confirming that evidence has been gathered and legal action has been initiated. Among the cases involving online rumors about enterprises, as disclosed by Guangdong Public Security, netizen Liu has been administratively detained for fabricating false information with the intent to discredit an automaker. This particular rumor had already led to penalties for those who spread it back in June of this year. Xiaomi reiterated its commitment to collaborating with public security authorities to legally combat any behavior that undermines the company's brand reputation through the dissemination of rumors.
