Flash Global ROM Onto Chinese Band?

Was it possible to flash a global ROM onto Chinese version of any Mi Band? Would you guess it would happen with Mi Band 8 Pro?

It would solve two problems:

Chinese variant often costs half the price
No need to wait months to get your hands on the device

If I remember correctly, the Chinese version is the same thing as the later global release and it should not be necessary to flash a ROM, it should contain English right out of the box and more feature will come later with update over zepp life/whatever the app is called now

I'm not gonna risk it, since there are likely hardware differences too. October 3rd seems to be the likely global release date, so about a month away.
