The Chinese version is now not unlockable at all AFAIK, and the global version became this way after HyperOS came out.

They’re sadly not available in my country.
I bought a Redmi phone myself because I had heard that it’s really easy to unlock its bootloader.
It isn’t.
You have to install their shitty community app, wait for a month, then try your luck applying to unlock your bootloader everyday at exactly 0:00CST because they only take around 2000 applications per day and it resets at that exact time. If you’re late one second it tells you that the application quota limit has already been reached. But in my experience, even when I do it at exactly 0:00, I get a random unrelated error thrown at me and if I try again after that I get rate limited for that day. Fuck Xiaomi. I’m probably going to just sell this and get a dumb phone because it just isn’t worth it.
Nope, sadly not.
