Feb. 13 -- Xiaomi, the rising Chinese smartphone maker, is taking its first small step into the U.S. market. The company announced plans to open the Mi.com website in the U.S. and other unspecified markets over the next few months. The site will not sell the company’s popular smartphones or tablets but will carry other products, such as health bands, power chargers, and headphones. Xiaomi announced this news during a press event in San Francisco. Bloomberg's Brad Stone attended the event, and sat down with Xiaomi's Vice President Hugo Barra for an exclusive interview.
