According to people familiar with the matter, when the three employees participated in external seminars, they may have been involved in the exchange of sensitive information such as Xiaomi's core technology and product planning. After discovering this situation, Xiaomi immediately launched an internal investigation process and made a decision to dismiss after confirming the facts.
In this statement, Xiaomi also called on all employees to take caution and strictly abide by the company's rules and regulations and confidentiality agreements, and reminded all sectors of society to respect the company's intellectual property rights and trade secrets, and jointly create a fair, just and healthy market environment.
This incident demonstrates Xiaomi's rigorous attitude towards internal management and determination to protect intellectual property rights. As the Xiaomi car project continues to advance, the company will further strengthen the internal supervision mechanism to ensure the information security of product development and business strategy to protect the interests of the company and shareholders.
As an emerging force in the field of new energy vehicles in China, Xiaomi Auto's every move has attracted much attention. This measure to severely punish internal leaks has undoubtedly added a solid barrier to the development of Xiaomi Auto, and also set a model for other enterprises in information security management and internal compliance. In the future, we expect Xiaomi Auto to continue to promote technological innovation and product upgrades on the premise of ensuring information security, and bring more high-quality products and services to consumers.
