After Huawei and ZTE, the US Department of Commerce added DJI, a well-known Chinese drone company, to its entity list. The list includes chip maker SMIC and a dozen other Chinese companies. Inclusion in the entity list means that the DJI is considered a security threat to the country and is currently barred from doing business with US companies.

Why did the US government blacklist the DJI you asked? The U.S. According to the Department of Commerce, newly banned Chinese companies have “initiated widespread human rights violations in China through abusive genetic collection [what?], Analysis or high-tech monitoring.” It refers to the agency’s strategic partnership with the Chinese government and the use of police drones to monitor detention camps in Xinjiang province.
In addition, U.S. The U.S. government (via Reuters) said it had listed some companies to export Chinese goods that support repressive regimes around the world, contrary to foreign policy interests.
The DJI ban is the equivalent of a Huawei ban that has been in effect for more than a year. The company is no longer eligible to export US technology. This means that it is difficult to store internal components or hardware made in the US, thus disrupting their distribution network. Although it was initially thought that buying and flying your DJI drones would be difficult to advance in the US, the company made it clear that this was not the case.
“DJI is disappointed with the decision of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Customers in the United States can continue to purchase and use DJI products in general. DJI is committed to developing the industry’s most innovative products that define our company and benefit the world,” the company said in a statement.
DJI drone owners, no need to worry now. Your drone can continue to go out to take some amazingly beautiful shots. However, if we take Huawei as a prime example, the DJI is really ready to go into turmoil and its future in the US is very uncertain.
