'Xiaomi’s secret blacklist of phrases sounds scary, but it may not be what it seems'
https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-secret-blacklist-expla…tl;dr — "there’s not a whole lot of cause for concern here."
lol was just gonna post this, I trust XDA more than tabloids
Also the fact that with most Xiaomi phones you can wipe the OS and chuck on LineageOS if you're tech capable or have a tech friend capable, mean you can still get the good hardware
If they stop letting people unlock the bootloader and XDA stops supporting development with their phones then I myself would start getting worried, this wont apply to the avg person though
It's the first piece of (potentially many more) politically-charged research that is designed for maximum media coverage, of which other Western/Indian politicians will use as evidence to cast doubt on Xiaomi, before eventually banning them. Xiaomi just became the world's largest smartphone maker and there are plenty of people who wish to see it fail like Huawei. Ditto for TikTok.
Lithuania apparently had a big falling out with China due to COVID, the country used to be a partner in their belt-and-road project.
What may happen in response is that Xiaomi may start region blocking China-market phones (e.g. Mix 4) as well as smart home devices, so they can't be used overseas. It's clear that this is an opening shot of a concerted campaign to find any security flaws, no matter how irrelevant it is, and push the fear narrative to the media.
for the outspoken ones:

The Lithuanian researchers found that the Xiaomi Mi 10T regularly updated a file called "MiAdBlacklistConfig" that held a built-in list of nearly 450 taboo Chinese phrases, including "Free Tibet," "Democratic Movement" and "Long live Taiwan's independence."
The censorship filter was deactivated for phones sold in the European Union, to which Lithuania belongs, but the researchers said it could easily be flipped on remotely by Xiaomi.
