Xiaomi should follow the footstep of Huawei and Lenovo.
Launch all products globally, the demand is high.
An 10-25% rise from the basic price in China doesn't matter for most of users, because it is still MUCH cheaper than other's OEM devices with about the same (or even more in) specs.
Love Xiaomi products, but can't buy.

Xiaomi Philippines official Facebook is very inactive now, the last post was back in November. The last official model released in Lazada was the Mi4i and even that was not sold out due to slow phase of releasing new model in the Markets, of course people will always want phones relative to its official release date. Hopefully Xiaomi will release the Mi5, Redmi 3, Mi4s and Note 3 here.

You will slowly see they closing down their online business in Indonesia, Malaysia and the rest SEA country and let distributor carry their stocks to sell with higher price.

Only China and India market are matter to Xiaomi. No matter how Hugo want it to be internationally success, the decision maker still CEO's Lei Jun.

Those four countries in that list alone have a total of over 3 billions of people in them since those are four of the top 5 most populated countries in the world. So Xiaomi will still get their hands full even without expanding further.
