Some online stores sell a Chinese version of the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum which works only with the Mainland China region in the Mi Home app. If the robot comes with a Chinese user manual in the box, most likely you have a Chinese version.

If you have a Chinese version, you should change your region to Mainland China: open the Mi Home app, tap on the Profile → Settings → Region → Chinese mainland.
