Just saw this -

They are going to have to start making their own tech now (or keep stealing it).....
sigh....

I am no fan of the CCP, but this is going too far with DJI.

This guy says several time "I don't know what that means", and in that sense, he is quite right, most of the time he is speculating, he knows nothing, and would be best of keeping his mouth shut.

The ban is NOT on the sale of DJI products in the US, it is simply on the export of certain technology to DJI in China. This means that some of the items used to manufacture their products may no longer be obtainable. But DJI can probably obtain those items from altyernate sources.

It was on the news here too!

Exactly.  I'm kind of 'fuck this guy' for his disinformation.

Following articles might help clarify.

Chinese drone company DJI added to U.S. economic blacklist

As a result, American companies may be prohibited from exporting parts  to DJI and other companies on the list. Consumers could also find it  more difficult to purchase DJI products, which still dominate despite a drop  to 69% of the market share – down from 74% in 2018. The department was  also quoted on its decision, which took effect at 11:15 am, EST, earlier  today by stating that DJI 'facilitated the export of items by China  that aid repressive regimes around the world, contrary to U.S. foreign  policy interests.'


U.S. blacklists dozens of Chinese firms including SMIC, DJI


The department also said it was adding the world’s biggest drone company  DJI to the list along with AGCU Scientech; China National Scientific  Instruments and Materials, and Kuang-Chi Group for allegedly enabling  “wide-scale human rights abuses within China through abusive genetic  collection and analysis or high-technology surveillance.”

Sounds like DJI have moved away from purchasing components from USA companies to get around this.
