The organization in addition to DJI placed blacklisted three other Chinese companies after allegations that their technology was being used to violate human rights.
Όhow he says the United States Department of Industry and Security, “These four companies are involved in a large-scale human rights violation in China. The category refers to the collection of genetic material and its analysis, possession of high-tech monitoring, as well as exports of products that help these practices in various parts of the world against the interests of USA.
This decision was made after reference of Bloomberg in March which informed that the DJI is a supplier of Chinese security forces in Xinjiang, where the government has placed the local population of uyghur in concentration camps.
"China actively promotes heinous practices of coercion, DNA collection and large-scale surveillance to oppress citizens of Xinjiang and other areas," Reported the Secretary General of the Ministry Wilbur Ross in a statement.
In all, the ministry placed sixty Chinese companies and groups on the list last week, which are being investigated for activities related to assisting the Chinese military in developing weapons aimed at stealing US state secrets.
In order for American companies to be able to "transfer" know-how to DJI, will have to submit an application to the Ministry of Commerce which of course will now be rejected. The only exception will be for health-related technologies, such as detecting a virus. In these cases the applications will be examined separately.
Η DJI on the other hand it has not responded to our request for any comment. It is expected, of course, to look for partners outside the United States to acquire materials and know-how, in order to be able to continue its operation. It is currently the largest drone company in the world, with its products receiving very good reviews and it certainly does not want to lose its acquis.
The US government, for its part, is concerned that DJI drones, which continue to be sold in the United States, pose a threat to its national security.
Among the Chinese companies included in the black list was SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation), because of its cooperation with the Chinese army.
What this movement is trying to avoid is the export of semiconductor technology of 10 nanometers or less to SMIC. All other exports with this company will be considered separately.
