Xiaomi should be designing its own chips or sourcing them from Chinese chipmakers at least for the low end chips so they won't be totally exposed in case of being targeted by the US government.

No kidding. The Koreans would be better off sticking with hardware innovation in display technology like they used to.
Samsung's software offerings like Tizen OS were always lackluster and flops.
