Drone maker DJI appeals against court ruling over ‘Chinese Military Company’ designation — will return to court to ‘defend the integrity of our company’ as legal battle rages on

DJI, a prominent drone maker, is appealing a U.S. District Court ruling designating it as a "Chinese Military Company," asserting it is not affiliated with the Chinese government or military. The legal battle stems from U.S. authorities' belief that DJI has ties to the Chinese Communist Party and military, which the company vehemently denies. DJI highlights that the court dismissed most allegations against it, emphasizing that its status and product applications are common in the industry. While DJI awaits a security audit to continue operating in the U.S., the date for the next court proceedings remains uncertain.
