DJI, World's Largest Drone Maker, Sues Pentagon Over 'Chinese Military Company' Blacklisting

Oct 19, 2024, 04:56 AM

DJI, the world's largest drone manufacturer, has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense challenging its inclusion on a blacklist that designates it as a 'Chinese military company'. The company, which dominates the global consumer drone market, argues that this designation is incorrect and has caused significant financial harm. The lawsuit was filed on Friday after DJI had failed to engage with the issue for over 16 months. The blacklisting alleges that DJI works with Beijing's military, a claim the company disputes. DJI is seeking to be removed from the Pentagon's blacklist, asserting that all enterprises are entitled to challenge unreasonable and unjust treatment through legal means.
