I am from India.. I went to China bazar in India which is a local market in Dlehi... And I was awestruck to see the number of Chineese shops in India... It had almost evey china material seeling there..
Most of the electronic items and consumer durables in India are imported from China. The Indian manufacturers can't compete with them due to low quality and high price. Xiaomi is the number one mobile brand here and the Chinese brands dominate in TVs, refrigerators, ACs.etc.
As a Chinese, I have never used Xiaomi . Haha, I don’t think that Xiaomi is creative. All his creativity comes from Apple.
