The US wants China to stop the export of military aircraft | News about Xi Jinping

The proposed rules would allow US regulators to restrict the entry of drones, particularly from China.

The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has moved to ban the importation of advanced drones, particularly from China, citing growing national security concerns over military technology.

Under the rules announced on Tuesday, the US regulator will block the entry of drones with high power and infrared sensors for high-resolution photography.

Meanwhile, the exemption for products made outside China, which was introduced in December, has been extended until January 2028, meaning it will be based on the exclusion of Chinese manufacturers, such as DJI and Autel Robotics.

This comes a few days after US President Donald Trump he accused China of interfering in the US elections of 2020. It shows the hardness of Washington’s attitude against technology developed by other countries, while trying to reduce the recent shock to domestic users.

FCC officials say the measures are necessary to “protect drone traffic” and prevent private information from being accessed by foreign countries.

In 2022, a FCC prohibited mobile phones and video equipment from well-known Chinese manufacturers, including Huawei and ZTE, calling it an “unacceptable threat to national security”.

US security officials have warned that devices from Chinese brands such as Huawei could be used to hack into fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks and collect private information.

One of the world’s largest telecommunications equipment manufacturers, Huawei has had a tough relationship with the US and its allies, facing the largest sanctions ever imposed on a single US company.

In 2019, Trump signed into law The Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act, which established procedures to identify communications services that Washington deemed to be a threat to national security.

The FCC’s latest move shows bipartisan agreement in Washington to treat foreign drone technology as an “unacceptable threat” to the nation’s infrastructure.
