After Huawei, Drone Maker DJI and Chipmaker SMIC Also Face Restrictions in USA

News 18  

The United States has put dozens of Chinese companies, including chipmaker SMIC and Chinese drone maker DJI on the government’s ‘Entity List’. Huawei has been one of the most highlighted member of the US entity list, banning the Chinese smartphone giant from doing business with any US-based companies. While the exact reason of DJI being put on the Entity List is not known, reports have said that it could be due to alleged human rights violation by the Chinese government. Now, the drone maker being on the Entity List could concern many users of the brand in the country, but unlike Huawei, DJI does not incorporate any tech from high-profile US based companies.
