外媒：美国商务部撤销将中国制造无人机列入所谓“受管制清单”的计划

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Department of Commerce has withdrawn a proposal to restrict the import of Chinese-made drones, which was initially aimed at addressing "national security" concerns. This decision follows backlash from both Chinese manufacturers and U.S. consumers regarding the restrictions imposed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on foreign-made drones and components [1][3]. Group 1: U.S. Regulatory Actions - The FCC had previously placed all foreign-made drones and their components on a "covered list," citing "unacceptable risks to national security," which led to significant opposition from China and dissatisfaction among U.S. consumers [1][3]. - The FCC announced that it would exclude some "non-Chinese manufactured drones" from the restrictions imposed last month [1]. - The Department of Commerce submitted the proposal to limit imports of Chinese drones for White House review on October 8 of the previous year and officially withdrew it on January 8 [1]. Group 2: Industry Impact and Reactions - DJI, a major Chinese drone manufacturer, expressed regret over the FCC's decision to include all non-U.S. manufactured drones on the "covered list," arguing that it restricts consumer choice and undermines fair market competition [4]. - The company emphasized that its products have been validated for safety and reliability by global markets and independent third-party organizations [4]. - Following the announcement of the restrictions, there was significant backlash in the U.S., with many drone operators relying on DJI equipment for their businesses, leading to concerns about the impact on their livelihoods [5].
