On May 19, 2025, Xiaomi’s Legal Department issued a statement revealing that a coordinated cyber smear campaign it had reported to authorities had been successfully solved. Judicial institutions disclosed the case was resolved via procedures initiated on May 15, 2025, marking a critical breakthrough in China’s ongoing battle against digital disinformation affecting corporate reputations.
The operation, characterized by its organized and premeditated nature, has resulted in criminal compulsory measures against multiple suspects under existing public security statutes, with formal investigations continuing according to both procedural and substantive law frameworks.
Corporate sentiment analysis shows the criticality of rapid response mechanisms in the digital age, as evidenced by Xiaomi executives’ swift public affirmation. CEO Lei Jun, President Lu Weibing, and Corporate Spokesperson Wang Hua all amplified legal department communications through their official channels within 24 hours of the announcement.
The legal disclosure has ignited viral discussions on Chinese social platforms, particularly regarding the operative’s capability to command nearly 10,000 social media accounts. This revelation has prompted renewed debate about algorithmic manipulation’s shadow economy and its implications for maintaining digital market integrity.
While demanding transparency, the public discourse reflects broader concerns about cybersecurity governance in tech manufacturing sectors. Observers have noted competing calls for full disclosure of the perpetrators’ identities and careful judicial proceedings that balance public interest with due process requirements.
