A Xiaomi phone might’ve shipped with a censorship list in Europe

I read that differently: the list on the phone itself wasn’t modified, but the lithuanian report about it, presumably under pressure from china.

Hundreds of generic "naughty" words were added to the list remotely by Xiaomi in order to make the list seem like it wasn't intended as a political tool, then Xiaomi remotely deleted it from the phone.

Seems I was wrong. Sorry. This defies the imagination!

“They reacted,” Margiris Abukevicius, Lithuania’s vice minister for defense, told me.

It seems like you misunderstood, that statement from the Abukevicius clearly states it was Xiaomi who changed the list (and then removed it).
