U.S. Moves to Ban DJI Drones Over National Security Concerns

The proposed Countering CCP Drones Act could prohibit DJI drones, citing security risks linked to Chinese surveillance.

The U.S. House of Energy and Commerce Committee advanced a bill last month that could ban DJI drones under the Countering CCP Drones Act.
DJI has been previously listed on the U.S. Department of Commerce's Entity List and the Treasury's Chinese Military-Industrial Complex list.
The bill, receiving bipartisan support, aims to prevent DJI from operating on U.S. communication networks due to potential security threats.
DJI refutes allegations, denying any misuse of data and accusing U.S. lawmakers of xenophobia.
The ban mirrors actions against other Chinese companies like Huawei and TikTok, reflecting escalating scrutiny of Chinese technology in the U.S.
