The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to ban new drones from Chinese manufacturer DJI, a move encapsulated in the 'Countering CCP Drones Act,' aimed at addressing national security concerns related to Chinese technology. The legislation, which still requires Senate approval, seeks to add DJI to the FCC's Covered List, blocking future models from operating on U.S. communications infrastructure while allowing existing drones to remain in use. Proponents, including Representative Frank Pallone, argue this will safeguard U.S. infrastructure from potential risks, while DJI has vehemently denied allegations of security risks and criticized the bill as a restriction on U.S. operators' access to equipment. The bill is part of a broader legislative package targeting various Chinese companies and technologies amidst escalating tensions between the U.S. and China. If passed, it could significantly impact the drone market, where DJI currently holds over half of the share. The ongoing push reflects a larger trend of tightening regulations on Chinese tech amid concerns over espionage.
