In a fresh twist to the tech rivalry between the Chinese mainland and the United States, tensions spiked this week as the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) moved to blacklist drone giant DJI, citing "unacceptable risks" to national security 🚁⚠️.
On Monday, December 22, the FCC announced it would bar approvals for new DJI drone imports and sales in the United States. This decision landed as another salvo in ongoing concerns over technology and data security.
Responding on Tuesday, December 23, spokesperson Lin Jian of the Chinese foreign ministry made it clear: the Chinese mainland firmly opposes the United States overstretching the concept of national security and creating discriminatory lists to groundlessly suppress Chinese companies. "The United States should correct its wrongdoings and provide a fair, just and nondiscriminatory environment for Chinese companies," Lin said.
What's next? As both sides dig in, the global drone market watches closely. Will this latest clash reshape how tech firms navigate international rules? Stay tuned for more updates! 🔍🌎
