# DJI Chinese drone manufacturer that controls roughly 70% of the global consumer and commercial drone market. DJI's dominance in law enforcement, infrastructure inspection, and agricultural drones made it a national-security concern parallel to [[TikTok]]: critics allege that flight data could be accessed by the [[Chinese Communist Party]] under China's national-intelligence laws, and that dependency on a single Chinese supplier creates [[Supply chain]] vulnerability. The [[Department of Defense]] placed DJI on its blacklist in 2020, and bipartisan legislation has sought to ban federal procurement of DJI drones entirely. The case illustrates how technology decoupling from [[China]] extends beyond social media into physical infrastructure — and how [[Cold War]]-style threat framing drives industrial policy. [[Donald Trump]]'s first and second terms both escalated restrictions, though enforcement has been complicated by the lack of cost-competitive American alternatives. *Stub — expand with: specific DoD/DHS bans, Countering CCP Drones Act, Skydio and domestic alternatives, agricultural drone dependency, Ukraine war drone implications.*
