Pentagon Sanctions Drone Manufacturers DJI and BGI Genomics for Ties to Chinese Army

Drone manufacturers DJI and BGI Genomics have been blacklisted by the US Department of Defense. The main reason for this decision is the companies' close ties to the People's Liberation Army of China (PLA). The Pentagon believes that the communication of companies with the PLA can pose a significant threat to American interests.

With companies included in the sanctions list, US trade and other business transactions are limited, including investment in their development. Earlier, Washington has already introduced a number of restrictions on trade with Chinese companies.



It is known that the Chinese company DJI Technology Co, headquartered in Shenzhen (Guangdong Province, China) was included in the list. The American authorities believe that it can use business ties with the United States to modernize its own production and thereby strengthen the combat capabilities of the PLA. The Pentagon is trying to prevent this.

The company is known as the world's largest manufacturer drones. Although the bulk of the company's drones are used by civilians and firms for purely civilian purposes, such as entertainment or agriculture, the Pentagon believes the company should be sanctioned.

In addition to DJI, 7 more Chinese companies were included in the sanctions list. The American authorities, in addition to caring about the security of the United States because of their cooperation with the PLA, are also imposing sanctions because of the situation with alleged human rights violations in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China. It is clear that the discourse about human rights in the XUAR, as well as in the Tibet Autonomous Region and Hong Kong, is used by the US to justify the policy of economic and informational pressure on China while trying to keep the world in a unipolar system.

        If minke whales periodically find Chinese components in their military products, then what can we say about everyone else.

          Well, it’s not about components, but about commercial drones. Quadcopters from DJI on CBO play a big role.

        It would be all the same, the Chinese would not impose restrictions on the supply of drones to Russia. And now they can safely sell. Even in the RF Armed Forces.

          But they are on sale. Moreover, if they wish, they could generally prohibit their drones from flying in the NWO zone, but they do not do this.

            how??
            all drones are purchased on the civilian market, if necessary, they are reflashed so that there are no restricted areas (for example, airports, nuclear power plants, dams, bridges, military facilities) on the ground and in height.
            here to fight - just jam the signal of the zhps (from a car, plane or from a drone gun) or demolish cell towers - for the future.
            Moreover, the DJI drone factory does not officially sell drones to the warring parties.
            .
            If I were the Ministry of Defense, I would buy out all the products of this drone factory and stupidly bombard the enemies with bombodrons in swarms.
            soon it will be so - the entire front cannot be covered with jammers - the jammers immediately wet.

              There was one moment when they just turned off all their drones around the world for a couple of days. And their company's drones couldn't fly during that period. No, probably if you take the drone from the box, do not update it in any way, and then reflash it, then it will fly everywhere and everywhere without demand. But that's not the point here.
              They did not try to limit the use of drones in the NVO zone in any way. It is possible to fly there and not on the firmware, but it is simply not safe. The firmware is more about making the drone and operator less visible to the enemy.

              It makes no sense to buy all products. The same Geranium-2 is many times more primitive and cheaper than what DJI does. It makes sense to take ready-made technical solutions from DJI in order to apply them later in the production of their drones.

                no, how do you compare them?
                digiay - I mean - of course, use only for the leading edge and geraniums are much more expensive - there is an engine instead of a battery, target designation and guidance
                .
                digiay - ten to twenty pieces in a narrow area (1-2 million rubles for everything) - all at once in the form of a raid - if a couple of pieces fly into the dugouts, and the rest do not hit / knock down - this is a deafening tygdets.
                By the way, Taiwan delivered 800 agro-drones to Ukrainian soldiers over the weeks, converted into multiply charged bomb carriers for firing from under the AGS-17, no less
                .
                purely mechanically, if you drown for dijiayshahiddron,
                given - front - 1000km
                enemy - 1 million soldiers (of which 500 thousand are in the trenches)
                20 drones participate in the raid
                the cost of a raid is 2 million rubles.
                number of raids per day - 10
                let 1 soldiers be disabled for 7 raid (killed, wounded)
                This means that after 365 days (1 year) the losses will amount to 25500 soldiers (5 percent of the personnel)
                .
                The costs will amount to 6 billion rubles a year - that is, the cost of one house on Rublyovka or 5-10 apartments in a good place or 20 T-90 tanks
                7300 drones and 10 times fewer remotes will be required per year.
                in terms of production - 7 military tarpaulin trucks.
                training of approximately 100 drone operators

                .
                but 6 billion rubles will not be required - the front will run in a month.
                without losses from the side using drones
                IMHO

    Chinese companies interact with the army of their own country, which threatens the national security of the United States - get sanctions. "Hegemon" wants to control, among other things, international trade, deciding who will sell what to whom, who has the right to cooperate with whom. Too much for one shoulder?

    The United States, because of its cooperation with the PLA, is also imposing sanctions because of the situation with alleged human rights violations in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China.

    Sanctions, pressure on other countries, the United States is always associated with the notorious "American democracy" and especially the violation of "human rights", although so far the local population, the owners of American land, do not have the same rights that blacks have in the United States and thus more white Anglo-Saxons.
    Farce and lies, the eternal component of the United States.

    Something the Pentagon is dofiga in whose affairs it sticks its nose. "We are sanctioning a Chinese company that manufactures drones in China from Chinese parts for the Chinese army." There are two options: either fucked up, or afraid. Well, or both options at once

    This is serious. Drones operate on proprietary American communication protocols. Those. the Chinese will either have to negotiate with the Americans, and this is possible, because. they supply drones not only to us but also to Ukrainians. Or develop the stuffing of your drones anew.

    You can remember how the Japanese economic miracle ended. When the share of Japanese chips in the world exceeded 50%, the States demanded that their economy actually stop growing. Since then, Japan has only stagnated. They are like a dog in the manger, preventing everyone from developing.
