Seems like Xiaomi is heavily clamping down on bootloader unlocking in China. Global versions also have a new restriction: no updates without locked bootloader.

      I get what you mean, and I agree with you. But locked bootloaders can be good for security, but as long as they’re unlockable they are good for freedom. You mean to say un-unlockable bootloaders should be banned.

      For real. I’ve been hunting for a cheap unlocked device for a project in working on. Harder than I thought.
