Xinhuanet has rolled out an interview video with Lu Weibing, the President of Xiaomi Group. In this video, Lu Weibing offered his take on the heightened attention and controversies that have swirled around Xiaomi over the past year. He noted that the public tends to hold Xiaomi to the gold standard of an industry benchmark, and much of the criticism it faces is rooted in the collective desire to see the company reach new heights. Nevertheless, he also pointed out that some controversies are the unwelcome byproducts of cutthroat competition within the industry.

Lu Weibing firmly believes that Xiaomi should not only maintain the enterprising spirit characteristic of a startup but also step up to embrace the responsibilities that come with being an industry leader. When it comes to internal adjustments, he emphasized that Xiaomi must set the bar even higher for itself, striving to become a valuable contributor to industrial development, a trailblazer in innovation, and a catalyst for progress. Before venturing into new industries, Xiaomi carefully assesses whether it can achieve a trifecta of value creation, adhering to a philosophy of innovation to deliver meaningful value to its users. The company is also ramping up its investment in areas such as intelligent manufacturing. Xiaomi is committed to facing pressures head-on and responding to all concerns with concrete actions.
