Legislators in Connecticut have taken a significant step toward banning the
purchase and use of DJI drones by state and municipal agencies, after a

Lawmakers in Missouri have joined peers on a lengthening list of states looking

AWAITING US-WIDE LEGAL BAN, US POLS SEEK TARIFF HIKES ON DJI DRONES

Bruce Crumley Mar 21 2024 - 3:13 am PT

When lethal legislation takes too long, attack with tariffs. That’s the logic of
Washington lawmakers now calling on the Biden Administration to increase import
fees on DJI drones, even as they continue pushing a draft law to prohibit
operation of those same UAVs in the US.

The drive to ban DJI drones in the US has now crossed into the darkly comical –

DJI DETAILS EFFORTS TO AVERT THE POTENTIAL ‘$116 BILLION ECONOMIC IMPACT’ OF US
BLACKLISTING ITS DRONES

Bruce Crumley Mar 12 2024 - 4:29 am PT
2 Comments

Global drone leader DJI has come under increasingly intense pressure in the US,
as successive federal and state measures banning its craft for official use have
proliferated amid worsening relations with China – and accompanying security
concerns. Though accusations by politicians that DJI UAVs leak data to Chinese
authorities have never been substantiated – and flatly denied by the company –
the blacklisting has reportedly undermined the firm’s former 70%-plus US market
share down to what some estimates say is closer to half now.

A firebrand US House of Representatives legislator who usually rails against the
size, cost, and over-reach of rights-crushing government is hailing the advance
of her bill to deprive perhaps millions of state agency, business, and police,
fire, first responder, and private users the ability to fly their DJI
drones across the country. And there aren’t even “alternative facts” backing up
the motives for the astonishingly repressive effort.

The world’s leading drone maker DJI has clearly had enough of the recurring
accusations about the data security of its craft, and the attendant blacklists
drawn up by US political leaders offering no substantiation of their claims. In
response, the company has issued a rare clarification about the steps it takes

PRO- AND ANTI-DJI OPEDS ILLUSTRATE ROLE OF LOBBIES IN BLACKLISTING BATTLE

A funny thing happened the on the way to the conclusion of an otherwise
convincing editorial about the self-defeating consequences of the recently
passed anti-China American Security Drone Act of 2023 (ASDA): The author
associated himself with a lobby supported by same DJI targeted by the
law’s federal blacklisting, thus undermining the effectiveness of what had been
a very compelling argument.

Efforts to undermine the fortunes of the world’s leading drone maker DJI are
about to bare a bumper crop fruit with legislative passage of a key defense bill
that contains the National Security Drone Act of 2023, which blacklists aerial
tech from China-based companies for use in official federal agency work. The
wider package now awaits President Joe Biden’s signature.

BALTIMORE POLICE BRAVE US BLACKLIST PRESSURES TO LAUNCH UAV UNIT WITH DJI DRONES

The time-tested parental observation advises that one learns more about a
situation by heeding what people do rather than what they say. That may also be
said of the recent decision by the Baltimore Police Department in establishing
its new drone fleet using DJI drones – and in doing so broadly reflecting the
frequent response of independent administrations to the largely politicized
moves by Congress, US government agencies, and several state legislatures
to blacklist the UAV giant’s craft from official use across the nation.
