DJI has offered another brief response to last Friday’s news: The US Department of Commerce has put it in the company of Huawei (and many others) by adding DJI to the Entity List. This means DJI will be unable to export US technology used anywhere in its supply chain unless exemptions are granted. Now, DJI has come out with some additional words in response.

An updated “Entity List” is bad news for the world’s largest drone manufacturer. DJI has been put in the company of Huawei and others, a move that will have negative consequences for the firm. We first broke the story after a conference call with the US Commerce Department.

Surprisingly, the US Commerce department cited “human rights abuses” and not the expected data security rationale.
