Two years after the blacklist of Chinese military companies, DJI sued the US Departmen

(Washington Comprehensive News) DJI, a Chinese drone manufacturer DJI was included in the list of "Chinese Military Enterprises" two years after the United States, sued the US Department of Defense and sought to remove it from this blacklist.

Comprehensive Reuters and Bloomberg reported that DJI said on Friday (October 18) in the complaint to the Washington District Court that the "illegal and misleading decisions" of the Pentagon caused major financial losses to the company.The transaction was slandered as a threat of national security and was banned from signing contracts with multiple federal government agencies. "

DJI claims that the United States and international customers have terminated their existing contracts with DJI and also refused to sign a new contract.

In October 2022, the US Department of Defense included DJI in the list of Chinese military companies, and American companies were banned from conducting business with Chinese companies on the list.

The Pentagon said at the time that the move was to combat the military -civilian integration strategy to support the PLA's modern goal, because China obtained advanced technologies and professional knowledge through seemingly private institutions, universities and research projects.

DJI said that the U.S. Department of Defense has not contacted the company for more than 16 months. The company has no choice but to ask the federal court for help.DJI also claims that the company is not owned by the Chinese military or control, and the judge is required to order to remove it from the blacklist of the Pentagon.

DJI, headquartered in Shenzhen, is the world's largest drone manufacturer. Its sales account for more than half of the US commercial drone market. However, the company's business in the United States is facing increasing political pressure.

DJI on Wednesday (16th) told Reuters that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency is preventing some DJI drones from entering the United States on the grounds of preventing the Uighurs' labor law.DJI said that it does not involve forced labor at any stage of its manufacturing.

U.S. legislators have also expressed their concerns about DJI's unmanned opportunities to bring data transmission, surveillance and national security risks, and DJI has denied it.

U.S. House of Representatives voted last month to obtain a bill for DJI's new drone to operate in the United States. It is currently waiting for the Senate for approval.The U.S. Department of Commerce also said last month that it is soliciting opinions on whether Chinese drones are imposed.
