+While this (currently) only affects users in China, Xiaomi's new policy makes unlocking very annoying. 
+
+With this new policy **You must have a Level 5 developer Xiaomi Community account.** </br>
+And here's a list of things you have to do to get that:
+- You must be a citizen of China.
+- You have to use HyperOS and report at least 1 bug per day. (????)
+- You have to submit at least 1 HyperOS suggestion per month. (????)
+- You must be an active Xiaomi Community user.
+
+Additional BS applies:
+- The permission to unlock is temporary and is granted for 1-year only.
+- You can only unlock 3 devices per-year.
+- You will not receive OTA updates.
+- your warranty will be void.
+
+If your phone is not from China the standard 7+-day procedure applies.

 To start off, to unlock your bootloader you need to make a request on their website, which is pretty bad on its own (*wink* Huawei), but there's also no way to know if your model supports unlocking beforehand.

-### Xiaomi/Redmi/POCO
-Currently, Xiaomi allows everyone to unlock, well, that is, if you have a SIM card, internet connection, a MI account, can set up their unlock tool and have 7 days (or more) at your disposal. <br/>
-The problem is that their unlock process is similar to that of OPPO, where you have accounts, verifications, RSA keys and more. And while it doesn't seem like they're going to change their policy anytime soon, but if they do, they can just break the unlock tool/block you with that MI account.
