Xiaomi's headquarters and first factory for its car business have been largely confirmed to be set in Beijing, Auto Business Review said on Weibo on Monday.

Previously Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Hefei and Xi'an were all seeking to get Xiaomi to locate its car-making project there, and the company's pick of the city where its headquarters and factory will be located is an important point in its car-making prep work, the Weibo post said.
