"WASHINGTON, Oct 18 (Reuters) - China-based DJI sued the U.S. Defense Department on Friday for adding the drone maker to a list of companies allegedly working with Beijing's military, saying the designation is
wrong and has caused the company significant financial harm.
DJI, the world's largest drone manufacturer that sells more than half of
all U.S. commercial drones, asked a U.S. District Judge in Washington to
order its removal from the Pentagon list designating it as a "Chinese
military company," saying it "is neither owned nor controlled by the
Chinese military."
Being placed on the list represents a warning to U.S. entities and
companies about the national security risks of conducting business with
them.
DJI's lawsuit says because of the Defense Department's "unlawful and
misguided decision" it has "lost business deals, been stigmatized as a
national security threat, and been banned from contracting with multiple federal government agencies."
The company added "U.S. and international customers have terminated
existing contracts with DJI and refuse to enter into new ones."
The Defense Department did not immediately respond to a request for
comment."
