Xiaomi fined over false advertising in China
Fine or penalty
China's market supervision department fined Xiaomi 20,000 yuan for violating the Advertising Law. The reported false advertisement for the Redmi K30 5G incorrectly claimed that the phone had a Samsung AMOLED display, while it had an LCD panel.

This penalty has been imposed by the Chinese government's market supervision department for violating the "Advertising Law of the People's Republic of China," citing IT Home, GizmoChina reported on Friday.
