Another Chinese company may face a ban in the U.S., with the House of Representatives passing a ban on the sale of DJI drones within the country. While the legislation still has to be voted on in the Senate, this does mean that a DJI drone sales ban is now a lot more likely.
DJI currently controls around 70% of the global drone market share, and around 6% of the company’s stock is owned by Chinese state-owned businesses. Like other China-based products and services, this has lawmakers fearful of DJI drones having secret backdoors that would allow Chinese government surveillance or pose a risk to national security.
