China’s Xiaomi are full of surprises and today there was a big one! The announcement of the companies own technology park!
Early today Xiaomi CEO, Lei Jun, met with Chinese government officials to sign a deal where Xioami will be allowed to build it’s own technology park. Construction of the park, located in Jinshan, is believed to take around 3 years and will include offices, staff housing, R&D centers and we believe manufacturing areas.
Gizchina News of the week
Xiaomi currently rely on Foxconn and other manufacturers to produce their smartphones, TV’s and routers. It has not been mentioned which products Xiaomi will produce themselves but the move will allow the company to keep up with demand, increase efficiency and maintain high quality.

The park is not located in Jinshan; it’s going to be built in Haidian, the Silicon Alley / Valley of Beijing. Jinshan is the Chinese name of Kingsoft, the other company that’s sharing the development costs and headquartering in the park. Kingsoft was Lei Jun’s previous gig (though he’s still involved) as investor and guru before starting Xiaomi.
Very good to hear that.
