DJI Sues US Defense Department Over 'Chinese Military' Label

• Drone manufacturer DJI has sued the US Department of Defense (DoD) over its classification as a 'Chinese military company'.
• DJI claims it has no ties to the Chinese military and produces consumer and commercial drones, not military ones.
• The company was added to the DoD's list in 2022, following restrictions from other US agencies due to alleged involvement in Uyghur surveillance.
• DJI argues the listing has caused financial and reputational damage, including lost business and employee harassment.
• The lawsuit criticizes the DoD's report as inadequate and confusing, applying the wrong legal standard and relying on outdated facts.
