Until then you need to change to the only official Chinese ROM available:
Download Fastboot : ROM MIUI 9 China Stable ROM V9.6.9.0.OEDCNFD (2.7 GB)
You will need to follow the instructions for Fastboot.
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED BEFORE DOING THIS OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE
Fastboot roms are flashed through a special tool by xiaomi which can be found: here
You also might need adb drivers which are found: here
1. Open the drivers file and click “y” for every option that it asks for.

3. Unzip the rom to a folder on your pc
4. Open the tool and in bottom right corner there will be 3 options, select “clean all”
5. Click on the “select” button on top left corner and head to the folder that you unziped, select it.
6. On your device enable “USB debugging”, “install via USB”, “USB Debugging (security settings)”, and disable “verify apps over USB” (Developers options are enabled by going to “about phone” then spam clicking the “MIUI version” until it says that your are a developer. then go to “additional setting” and you will find “developer options”)
7. Boot your device to fastboot mode by holding down the vol- + power key together until you see a bunny with fastboot sign.
