DJI Blasts Interior Department's Grounding Order
Cinese drone-maker DJI says decision to ground its drones is "politically motivated."

In a scathing response issued January 29, China’s DJI, the world’s leader in producing civilian drones, blasted the U.S. Department of Interior’s (DOI) recent decision to ground all Chinese-made drones in its fleet as “politically-motivated country of origin restrictions masquerading as cybersecurity concerns.” The company called upon policymakers and industry stakeholders “to create clear standards that will give commercial and government drone operators the assurance they need to confidently evaluate drone technology on the merits of performance, security and reliability, no matter where it is made.”
