Can't compete, the US "over-safety" policy, suppressing Chinese tech companies! US court rejects DJI's appeal, maintains its listing on the military-related enterprises list
On Friday, September 26, the US federal court ruled that Chinese drone manufacturer DJI lost the case, maintaining its continued listing on the US Department of Defense's so-called "military-related enterprises list."
According to Reuters, US District Judge Friedman stated in the ruling that the evidence held by the Department of Defense was sufficient to support its conclusion that DJI supports China's defense industry. As the world's largest drone manufacturer, DJI has a market share of more than half in the US commercial drone market.
DJI argued in the lawsuit that the company is neither affiliated with nor controlled by the Chinese military, and therefore being listed "is neither legal nor reasonable." DJI also stated that this ruling has caused the company to lose business contracts, be viewed as a national security threat, and be prohibited from cooperating with multiple US federal government agencies.
The US Department of Defense declined to comment on the matter. The US Department of Justice, however, emphasized in documents submitted to the court that the US has long been concerned about the national security risks posed by the relationship between Chinese tech companies and the Chinese government.
According to relevant regulations, companies listed on this list may be restricted from participating in US contracts, grants, and other government projects. Judge Friedman pointed out that US companies that cooperate with these enterprises face higher national security risks.
This is not the first time such a precedent has occurred. In July this year, Judge Friedman also ruled in favor of the US government in another case involving Chinese LiDAR manufacturer Hesai Technology. Hesai has appealed the ruling.
