Have you ever wondered why the Xiaomi Mi4 is still not available locally? If so, then allow Xiaomi’s own Hugo Barra to enlighten you with some of the necessary undertakings needed to export their products (even MiBunnies) to a particular market.
In the short video below, Barra explains that Xiaomi had to make minor alterations to their products in order to make it more “localized”, as well as getting a stamp of approval from the government agency of the country where a given product will be sold.
In the case of our beloved country, Xiaomi also had to deal with issues like port congestion and, most importantly, rampant corruption before they can successfully bring their goods in.

Translation: “We had to make our spyware that sends your personal data to our Chinese servers more hidden so no one would notice.” LOL

I couldn’t agree more, subukan mo magpa approve sa government agency at kumuha ng permit, magpapahiwatig yan ng lagay kapag may nakitang flaw sa papel mo.
pero mas agree ako dito sa pag tago mabuti ng spywares nila. :))

Nakakatawa yung mga nagcomment sa FB regarding this video of Hugo Barra. Di raw nila mafeel na third biggest manufacturing company ang Xiaomi dahil hirap silang makabili sa Pinas. Kung di corrupt ang customs at NTC sa sobrang laki ng communications tax, isasama tayo ng Xiaomi sa priority countries tulad ng India at Malaysia.
Trix says:
Corrupt kasi tayo ser, eh. Hindi lang ang customs at NTC. Mahirap maging hipokrito at magturo turo. Pero totoo tong sinasabi mo. Tapos ang bobo nung jughead, may masabi lang, parang ako.
archie says:
@jughead Oo bobong jughead, mas corrupt ang pinas kesa sa india. Nakapunta na ako doon at mas maliit ang taxes nila sa mga gadgets compared sa bansa natin. Mas maliit ang value ng currency nila pero alaga ang mga negosyo doon at hindi pinapatay ang import export tradings. At alam mo ang sabi ng mga Indian sa mga Pilipino? Masyado tayong mareklamo sa lahat ng bagay, kahit mura na ang gadget namamahalan pa rin tayo. Palugi na ang benta nambabarat pa. Kaya itigil mo na yang kakaLOL mo sa lahat ng post mo dahil para kang ulol kakagamit ng gasgas na LOL na yan.
