This afternoon, Xiaomi's official account on Weibo (the Chinese Twitter) announced that the company has won the “China Benefit Company” award in the selection of corporate social responsibility at Tencent News 2021.

The comment that appears on the Xiaomi Group selection is: "It has built a support system focused on people with disabilities with its products and activities, demonstrating that inclusive technology can allow everyone to live an independent, good and dignified life".
Xiaomi officially stated that since 2013 it has started communicating with users with disabilities and, based on real needs, has continued to improve accessibility on its devices. "We firmly believe that everyone is the master of their own life and can live independently, good and dignified." In the future, Xiaomi will continue to work hard so that more people can enjoy the convenience and beauty that technology offers.
It is reported that Xiaomi has brought a wide range of accessibility features to the MIUI 12 / 12.5 system. A specially customized accessibility menu can provide users with a number of convenient functions including Xiao Ai, power button, volume adjustment, notification management, etc.
On the day of National Disability Day in May of this year, Xiaomi's smartphones also appeared in the CCTV news. In the program, a visually impaired person using Xiaomi devices said that accessibility on smartphones has improved the life of visually impaired people and increased the quality of life even for those with disabilities.
We also point out that Xiaomi's research and development of accessibility features is actually due to a help post from a visually impaired fan of the brand on the MIUI forum many years ago. Subsequently, Xiaomi's MIUI team embarked on a seven-year path of accessibility optimization.
What can I say, we hope it always continues like this, helping those who need it most.
