Lei Jun, founder and chairman of Xiaomi Group, admitted during his first live stream of 2026, “Over the past year and a half, the barrage of criticism has left all of us a bit dazed.” Lei Jun stated that Xiaomi is determined to take serious action against online trolls by reporting and filing complaints against them. “If you’re a Xiaomi user and you’re being attacked, I hope you’ll report it in the community. We’ll help you defend your rights,” Lei Jun said. He noted that while criticizing Xiaomi does generate traffic, it must be done objectively—without intentional smear campaigns or taking things out of context. “I don’t think people should act this way; doing so is illegal,” Lei Jun stated. “We pay close attention to the voices of real users. As long as what people say is valid, we will listen carefully and make improvements. But we will absolutely not tolerate those who spread rumors and smear Xiaomi owners.” (Mingjing.com)
