Xiaomi has sued the US treasury and defense departments, CNBC reported.

Xiaomi filed a lawsuit on Friday in the district court of Columbia, its investor relations website reported on Sunday.

“By cutting off Xiaomi from U.S. capital markets, the Designation and related restrictions will damage the company’s ability to conduct, grow and finance its business, sell its products, maintain and grow its business relationships, and recruit and retain employees,” the company’s lawsuit said.
