official Sean O'Kane / The Verge : DJI says people can still buy and use its drones in US after export ban Brian Heater / TechCrunch : DJI added to Commerce Department ‘entity list’ Andrew Couts / Gizmodo : Drone Giant DJI Added to U.S. Blacklist CNBC : U.S. blacklists dozens of Chinese firms including SMIC, DJI Financial Times : Blacklisting of China's DJI in US threatens to scramble drone industry Bloomberg : China Vows Countermeasures on U.S. Sanctions Against Its Firms Maggie Tillman / Pocket-lint : DJI blacklisted by US government: Everything you need to know Timothy B. Lee / Ars Technica : US government bans tech exports to top drone maker DJI C. Scott Brown / Android Authority : DJI added to same US ‘Entity List’ as Huawei (Update: DJI statement) Tweets: @emericanjohnson : Incredible double standard, as always, from the USA government. Anyone who has been following the protests knows that American cops and feds have been using drone and surveillance technologies in horrifically oppressive ways. https://dronedj.com/... https://twitter.com/... David Benowitz / @dave_beno : The DJI ban's origin comes from a Bloomberg story about a strategic partnership with Xinjian police, not security concerns. https://twitter.com/... Brad Stone / @bradstone : here's the story, by @ashleevance and @BlakeSchmidt https://www.bloomberg.com/... https://twitter.com/... @graphiccons : “DJI is just one of dozens of Chinese companies that were added to the blacklist. China's top chipmaker, SMIC, is being added too.

AAM / @keepitmadeinusa : The Commerce Department said the action “stems from China's military-civil fusion (MCF) doctrine and evidence of activities between SMIC and entities of concern in the Chinese military industrial complex.” https://ow.ly/... Kevin Sartori / @kevsarto : DJI is being added to the U.S. government's economic blacklist. The question is how strict this ban is and how long it will last but it will have massive short term repercussions https://in.reuters.com/... Rick Scott / @senrickscott : Communist China is actively building up their military to compete with America. I applaud the Trump administration for taking these important measures and adding new companies with ties to the Chinese military, including drone maker DJI, to the DOC entity list. https://twitter.com/... Chris Anderson / @chr1sa : Two thoughts on the US ban on DJI: 1) This could have been worse; a draft executive order would have banned drones using Chinese-made components (ie, all of us), which was impossibly vague & sweeping 2) Biden will renegotiate all the Chinese trade issues https://www.theverge.com/... Tony Stark / @iron_man_actual : I recognize that DJI is good tech, but bad for security. I'm ok with the ban, what I'm uncomfortable with is that US manufacturers don't seem capable of making a cost-effective equivalent. That does not bode well if we have to mass produce during wartime https://www.theverge.com/... Zach Mazzotta / @zchmz : Looks like I'm buying that Air 2 earlier than expected... (this sucks) https://twitter.com/... Bilal Zuberi / @bznotes : “ban will make it difficult for US businesses to provide parts or components for DJI to use in its drones, which is likely to disrupt the company's supply chain.Depending on China's response to the action, it may also make it difficult for US stores to directly sell DJI products” https://twitter.com/... @rmac18 : The world's largest consumer drone company just got blacklisted by the US https://www.businessinsider.com/ ... @producthunt : NEWS: US bans @DJIGlobal US-based companies are banned from exporting technology to the company.
