Google’s limitations in China are famous and well known to everyone. All services are blocked and smartphone users are prevented from using their apps in this territory.
Manufacturers usually have their own versions of their systems for this country, with limitations already applied. Xiaomi now seems to be following a different path and has now blocked the installation of Google services and apps on its smartphones in China.
Google has been banned from China for many years
Despite all the limitations, many users in China end up being able to install Google services. They find ways to do so and thus have access to everything that users in the rest of the planet have.
Xiaomi was on the list of manufacturers that allowed this change on their smartphones, but now it seems to have changed. This change will have happened with the arrival of MIUI 12.5, which is already being made available in China.
Xiaomi is blocking the installation of these services
Reports of this change have been growing and revealing Xiaomi's change from GMS (Google Mobile Services). Users report that since this update arrived, all known processes have stopped working.
Xiaomi has already responded to users' complaints and very clearly responded with a very precise and explicit message. He revealed that all of his smartphones in China do not include Google services and that they should not be installed later by users.
Beware of smartphones that buy in China
Although there is no clear list of equipment that lost this support, everything points to MIUI 12.5. This is already available in China for the Redmi K30 Ultra and Redmi 10X 5G, but the list is expected to be expanded soon.
It may seem like a problem that does not affect the Portuguese, but the truth is quite different. The purchase of smartphones in China is more and more frequent and this will have an impact on models that are imported by consumers. The partnership between Xiaomi and Google does not change, but the policy in the country ends up speaking louder.
