This is all about perception. People see them at #3 and think Xiaomi is conquering the world where as a sales break down will quickly reveal that is not the case.
Go outside, ask average people who don't follow tech sites like this and ask them what is Xiaomi and see if they know the answer.

If you really want to nit-pick then FoxCon is actually probably the worlds largest manufacture and they're not even on the list.

"3rd largest manufacturer globally" means "3rd largest manufacturer in the world" and NOT "3rd largest manufacturer supplying devices to the all the countries"

If they start selling a Samsung/apple quality device at samsung/apple prices sales will drop.. Cos people will buy samsung/apple for the same price..

No sh**, Xiomi selling quite premium design phones at low price already valued more than $45 Billion.
Just imagine if they going to sell their even more premium design phones at iPhone 6/6Plus quality & prices, their valued will be 450 Billion?

China is an important market, and why should it be taken out of the list. If an Indian manufacturer suddenly dominates in India, should INdia be taken off the list?
In any case, last I heard, Apple, Samsung, and all the other global players were trying to crack the China market, so Xiaomi is still competing with them, home turf or not.

I do not know where you come from but you should know that Xiaomi already penetrated India and Indonesia market (both are top 5 biggest population). If you include China as well, it proves that they are really 3rd biggest smartphone manufacturer.
Not only that, Xiaomi also selling well in Malaysia and Singapore (These are developed countries). I live in Singapore (first world country) and they sell really well here. I work and travel a lot in few countries mostly south east countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam (almost every month). I have plenty of good friends around asia. Most of them have xiaomi (some are stick to Apple). I also own 3 xiaomi (Redmi/ hongmi, Xiaomi Note, Xiaomi mi3).
Oh one more thing, my 2 best friend also own mobile phone shop in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.. They also agree that Xiaomi sell really well... So mate.. what are you trying to say or deny?

Relatively unsuccessful company with minor impact? Think not. It's numbers that matter, and the fact they managed to get #3 by mostly selling in China is even more impressive. Neither Samsung, Apple, HTC or LG were forbidden in CHina, yet they aren't as successfull. That means something.

So "taking out a market" from this equation makes no sense.
If the statistic was regarding 'sales in home market' then you can factor in population and stuff.
What you are saying is this:
Mandarin is most spoken language in the world. But "take out china" and it falls off the list.
