China's commerce ministry urges US to drop drone supplier ban

China’s commerce ministry urged the US on Tuesday to stop the “wrong practice” of adding all foreign-made drone systems and key components to its new “Covered List”, and it vowed measures to protect the rights and interests of Chinese firms.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) said on Monday it was adding China’s DJI, Autel and all foreign-made drones and components to a list of companies deemed to pose unacceptable risks to US national security and would bar approvals of new types of drones for import or sale in the United States.
