At the moment, Xiaomi no longer sells the 65W GaN charger in the Chinese market because of concerns over possible hacking. Xiaomi uses the eFlash/MTP chip allowing overwriting the charger firmware with reading and writing data. Exploiting this, hackers can use custom firmware for bad purposes.

If you have a Xiaomi GaN 65W, don’t use it with your Mi 11. You can use the old 65W fast charger that comes with the Mi 10 Pro or the new 55W GaN charger instead.
