Chinese Smartphone Maker Xiaomi Says It is Working To Enter the US Market Next Year (reuters.com)

China's Xiaomi is pressing ahead with plans to enter the United States next year, saying its U.S. connections should help the consumer-focused smartphone maker skirt the political resistance met by some of its compatriot rivals. From a report: Senior Vice President Wang Xiang told Reuters on Tuesday that the U.S. market was "very attractive" and that the firm was adding engineering resources to develop versions of its handsets that are compatible with U.S. cellphone networks. "Next year we hope we can do something there," Wang said, adding talks with U.S. carriers are yet to produce concrete agreements.
