He stated that the company is strategically not afraid of Xiaomi making foray into the home appliance industry, given common sense analysis and judgment.

While the home appliance industry has low barriers to entry, it is highly competitive and considered the "Red Sea", the Chairman elaborated. Home appliances are electromechanical products with fixed strategies, and there is limited room for efficiency improvement in the industry, he said.

Therefore, regardless of the approach, the ultimate winner is determined by a massive war of attrition, which is the same for new players like Xiaomi, and Redmi, as well as existing major players.

At this juncture, no high-tech companies have emerged from the home appliance industry, indicating that "anyone entering the home appliance industry now has already lost strategically and cannot go far", he boasted.
