Who are they restricting them to? If they are restricting the sale to NATO countries or Ukraine, that is a completely different story than if they are restricting them to Russia.
Sounds like a blanket restriction
“China’s modest expansion of the scope of its drone control this time is an important measure to demonstrate our stance as a responsible major country, to implement global security initiatives, and maintain world peace,”
If that is indeed a blanket restriction, DJI and a whole bunch of other drone companies are either going to collapse or offshore ASAP.
Or they just officially restrict all drone sales. Because their support for Russia isn’t official anyway.
I’m surprised they don’t just want to profit on both sides.
They do. This is either total BS, or a back channel deal with the US in exchange for something.
