Seems like Xiaomi is heavily clamping down on bootloader unlocking in China. Global versions also have a new restriction: no updates without locked bootloader.

I’ve been a huge fan of Xiaomi for years, but it feels like they’re going down the pan.
I’m a bit confused, I thought it was normal and expected for phones to not get live ROM updates anymore after the bootloader is unlocked. The main reason being that the phone would not be able to verify anymore that the update is genuine.
Why is this a big deal? It’s their call whether to support bootloader unlocked devices on official software. If they’re not preventing unlocking this article isn’t saying anything newsworthy.
