China’s DJI Files Appeal Over U.S. Court Ruling on Pentagon Blacklist
(MENAFN) DJI, the Chinese drone manufacturer, has filed an appeal in a U.S. federal court after a recent decision upheld its inclusion on the Pentagon’s list of alleged “Chinese military companies,” according to media, a state-affiliated media outlet.
The move follows an October 2024 lawsuit filed by DJI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, where the company sought to overturn the U.S. Department of Defense's designation of DJI as a “Chinese Military Company” (CMC). That designation first appeared in 2022 and was reaffirmed in an updated list published in January 2024.
Last month, the court dismissed DJI’s request for removal from the list, prompting the company to take further legal action.
DJI responded in a statement, saying it “disagrees with and does not accept” the court’s ruling and has filed an appeal in order to “resolutely defend the company’s reputation and interests.”
The company further emphasized its stance against military use of its products: “DJI has always firmly opposed the use of our products and technologies for any military or war purposes and has taken comprehensive measures to prevent such misuse.”
The ongoing legal battle underscores growing tensions between Chinese tech firms and U.S. national security policy, with DJI remaining at the center of a broader geopolitical dispute over technology and defense.
