A federal judge has rejected drone maker DJI’s efforts to get off a Department of Defense list of Chinese military companies. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman ruled Friday that the DoD had provided “substantial evidence” that DJI contributes “to the Chinese defense industrial base.” The company told Reuters that it’s considering its legal options and said Judge Friedman’s decision was “based on a single rationale that applies to many companies that have never been listed.”DJI faces other legal hurdles in the United States, including a potential ban on sales starting in December unless a national security agency determines that its drones do not “pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States.”
