Drone-maker DJI filed a lawsuit<\/a> Friday against the US Department of Defense over its inclusion on a DoD list<\/a> of \u201cChinese military companies.\u201d<\/p>\n

A DJI spokesperson said the company filed the suit after \u201cattempting to engage with the DoD for more than sixteen months\u201d and deciding \u201cit had no alternative other than to seek relief in federal court.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDJI is not owned or controlled by the Chinese military, and the DoD itself acknowledges that DJI makes consumer and commercial drones, not military drones,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

The Chinese company was added to the DoD\u2019s list in 2022, following similar actions from other government agencies \u2014 in 2020, DJI was placed on Department of Commerce\u2019s Entity List<\/a> that essentially blocked US companies from selling to it, and it was placed on the Treasury Department\u2019s investment blocklist the following year, due to DJI\u2019s alleged involvement in the surveillance of Uyghur Muslims. (The company said<\/a> it had \u201cnothing to do with treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang.\u201d)<\/p>\n

In its lawsuit, DJI says that as a result of the listing, it has \u201csuffered ongoing financial and reputational harm, including lost business, and employees have been stigmatized and harassed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company claims that the DoD report justifying the listing \u201ccontains a scattershot set of claims that are wholly inadequate to support DJI\u2019s designation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lawsuit argues, \u201cAmong numerous deficiencies, the Report app<\/a>lies the wrong legal standard, confuses individuals with common Chinese names, and relies on stale facts and attenuated connections that fall short of establishing that DJI is [a Chinese military company].\u201d It also says that founder and CEO Frank Wang and three early-stage investors \u201ctogether hold 99% of the company\u2019s voting rights and approximately 87.4% of its shares.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Department of Defense did not immedia<\/a>tely respond to TechCrunch\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
