All these allegations, not a single tear-down? Smells like lazy reporting.

One of the links from the article actually provides a photo of a tear-down [1]. Apparently if you remove the label in the battery slot there is a hidden logo from Xiaomi.

There are logos and the bootloader is chinese, people have actually inspected these phones.

That said I'm not sure what really the difference is these days...
