DJI, the prominent drone manufacturer, has filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Defense for being labeled as a 'Chinese military company.' The company claims it attempted to resolve the issue for over sixteen months before seeking legal recourse. DJI insists it is not controlled by the Chinese military and emphasizes its focus on consumer and commercial drones. The lawsuit highlights alleged financial and reputational damages caused by the designation. DJI argues the DoD's justification for the listing is flawed and relies on outdated and inaccurate information.
