While citing performance as the main reason for the move, International VP Hugo Barra added that \u201cit also better equips us to maintain high privacy standards and comply with local data protection regulations.\u201d From Jon Russell at TechCrunch:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Xiaomi got itself into hot water this summer when it was found be sharing a range of user information with a server in China. A report from security company F-Secure found that the device\u2019s IMEI number, customer\u2019s phone number, phone contacts and text messages received were all shared but \u2014 importantly \u2014 there was no way for customers to opt out.<\/p>\n<p>As with all things China and privacy-related, the revelation raised concerns that the information could be accessible by the Chinese government.<\/p>\n<p>Xiaomi quickly offered an opt out for users, but moving their data overseas \u2014 MIUI services will be housed in Amazon AWS data centers in Oregon, USA, and Singapore \u2014 is the best response to any claims of nefarious intentions.

The obstacles ahead of them, from pronunciation to security fears and likely legal battles, appear steep but surmountable, it argues.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Another local firm on the move is OnePlus. Reviewers in developed markets have been raving about its clever handsets, which offer top-notch performance and features for around $300\u2014less than half the list price of the latest iPhone. Carl Pei of OnePlus argues that unlike its rivals, his firm was \u201cborn a global company\u201d. Since its founding late last year, it has targeted 16 countries\u2014including such challenging markets as America and Britain. \u201cIt helps that a lot of people don\u2019t know that we are a Chinese firm,\u201d he confides.<\/p>\n<p>[\u2026] A serious threat to Chinese firms as they head overseas is lawsuits from Apple and Samsung, who themselves have long been entangled in nasty battles over intellectual property (IP). Ben Qiu of Cooley, an American law firm, believes that \u201cXiaomi is in dangerous waters of potential patent-infringement claims on the international markets.\u201d But he argues that the firm\u2019s clever management team, which includes former Google executives, can navigate these perilous seas because it is well prepared for legal and regulatory battles.
