Judge rules that drone maker DJI is affiliated with China’s defense industry — company to stay on Pentagon’s list of Chinese military companies
Is this the beginning of the end?
DJI, the biggest commercial and consumer drone manufacturer in the world, lost its case against the Federal Government after U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman ruled against the company. According to the South China Morning Post, the court agreed with the Department of Defense, stating that it had sufficient evidence to include the drone maker in the Section 1260H list, which designates certain institutions as “Chinese military companies.” DJI claims that it’s neither owned nor controlled by the Chinese military, and that it has “lost business deals, been stigmatized as a national security threat, and been banned from contracting with multiple federal government agencies.” Despite this loss, it said that it will continue operating in the U.S. and explore other legal remedies.
