    Xiaomi was one of nine companies designated as a CCMC on Jan. 14, 2021.

    Xiaomi filed a lawsuit over its inclusion on Jan. 29, 2021, against DoD and its Secretary, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and its Secretary, and the U.S. president in the District Court (Xiaomi Corporation v. U.S. Department Of Defense et. al., Complaint; Civil Docket No. 21-cv-00280).

    On March 12, 2021, Judge Contreras issued an order preliminarily enjoining the implementation and enforcement of the prohibitions against Xiaomi, which the U.S. government decided not to appeal.

    Instead, the DoD indicated that it would settle the lawsuit and remove Xiaomi from the CCMC list.

    I don’t know if this is super reliable, Australia has labour day celebrations but they’re all over the place

    Only the October 7 ones don’t (I think) have anything to do with labour day, the March dates are about the eight hour working day, for why NT and Qld don’t fall on 1 May…

    Labour Day was first celebrated with a public holiday in Queensland in 1865 as Eight Hours Celebration Day. It occurred on 1 March and celebrated the winning of an eight-hour work day by Brisbane workers in 1858. The date was moved to May Day around 1896, in solidarity with the attack on United States workers on the first May Day parade in the Haymarket affair. In 1901, the holiday was moved to the first Monday in May, to ensure a long weekend

    “Yeah nah mate we support the US workers but fuck me dead it’s been five years already, I just want a long bloody weekend”
