The first Chinese company to force the US to lift sanctions has appeared

2024-07-26

Proof by facts, as long as you are strong enough to have all the core technologies in your own hands, you don't have to worry about sanctions from the Americans. In the United States, as long as you hear the "buzz" of a drone taking off, it is the sound of China. A few days ago, the US Senate rejected the Counter China Drone Act introduced by the House of Representatives, saying its provisions needed to be changed. This means that DJI drones can continue to be sold in the United States. It means that China's high-tech industry has fired the first shot against US sanctions! Is a very proud thing for the people. We can't help but wonder what compelled the Senate to lift sanctions on Chinese drones?

The story begins with an accident in 2018. This year, the U.S. military stationed in Syria, as usual, took out DJI drones to prepare for daily reconnaissance missions. However, no matter how the pilot operated, the drone could not take off. The mechanic came to check it and said, "No problem, it shouldn't be." In the end, it turned out that DJI had updated its software in the background and set up a no-fly zone in Syria! The US military, which has been dominating the world, has been "stuck in the neck" by a Chinese company, or in the military field! Every keyword stirred the fragile nerves of American politicians, and a political review of DJI surged. According to the set script, the plot development should be that the United States first clears the DJI drones in government agencies; Then issued a sales ban, forcing DJI to withdraw from the US market; Finally, it banned the export of core chips, completely stuck the neck of DJI, and thus crushed a Chinese high-tech enterprise.

To the surprise of the US government, the review concluded that "it is difficult to remove the impact of DJI in a short period of time." The reason is that DJI drones have been deeply integrated into every aspect of the US government. Military, FBI, police, fire brigade, rescue team, National Guard, Geological Survey team, disaster prevention agency... Every department that has anything to do with the field has bought DJI drones. Well, it's so "infiltrated" that it's really difficult to remove it in a short time, so let's do it over three years and gradually replace it with American-made drones. In 2018, DJI was cleared from the US military; In 2019, to eliminate DJI from the federal government; Eliminate DJI from state governments by 2020; It's a perfect plan, but when it comes to putting it into practice, the first step falls apart. Don't use iPhone, use Samsung, don't drink Coke, drink Pepsi, but don't use DJI, really can't find an alternative drone. For example, the U.S. military is very dissatisfied with the newly equipped, American-made Skydio UAV, the performance and control are not as good as DJI, often fly fly lost, either crash, or out of control, too many minor faults. This year, Skydio also sent 100 drones to Ukraine as an advertisement. Who expected, after Ukraine smiled and accepted the gift, it turned to bid for 4,000 DJI drones on the official website, with a bid bottom of $15 million.

The U.S. government is subsidizing Skydio with hundreds of millions of dollars over five years to catch up with DJI. Skydio lived up to expectations, tripling its market share - from 1% to 3% - and DJI still firmly controls 90% of the U.S. drone market. Skydio's performance was so poor that it led to complaints from American troops on the front line. In 2022, the Pentagon published a magical report saying that the drones DJI supplied to the government were vetted to be safe and available for purchase. When the report came out, it was attacked by American politicians, who threatened to root out traitors in the army. The Pentagon has also made clear that the previous report does not count, and DJI is a "spy plane." From this small episode, it is not difficult to see that the US sanctions against Chinese companies are not commercial reasons at all, but naked hegemonic oppression, which is unjustifiable. On the surface, the U.S. military does not use DJI drones, but they will pay the cost to third-party companies, so that third-party companies can purchase DJI products. The Pentagon has nothing to do with third-party companies taking the blame. Various government departments in the United States follow suit and continue to use DJI. In the civilian market, DJI is the absolute hegemon.

An article titled "There is no substitute for China's drones - and that's a problem" said: "In the United States, whenever you hear the" buzz "of a drone taking off, it is a sound made in China. When the government wants to ban Chinese drones, American farmers are the first to be unhappy. They ask: How can we apply pesticides and fertilizers to thousands of acres of farmland without DJI drones? It is understood that 80% of American farmers have owned or used DJI agricultural drones and praised the effect. In the past, Americans sprayed pesticides with Yamaha helicopters produced in Japan, which cost $1 million, and ordinary people could not afford to buy them, and they had to rent them from agricultural companies. And DJI T40 agricultural drone, only $9,000, everyone can afford. The helicopter will also be opened by professional pilots, DJI T40 is simple and easy to learn, normal people can use a few times, if not, there is AI function, according to the actual situation of the field, intelligent flight, intelligent spray, intelligent return, the main worry, no brain. 1,000 acres of land, sprayed in a day, the efficiency is several times before.

Such a good DJI agricultural drone, American farmers can not do without a use. As soon as they heard that the government was going to ban it, they did not know anything about national security, and immediately found the state senator and threatened: If DJI is banned, you will sprinkle pesticide on my home when farming is busy! Why can't Americans build a seemingly simple "toy" with four propellers and an electric motor? The most fundamental gap between DJI and other UAVs is not in hardware, but in software, that is, the flight control system. Dji's flight control system is 100% self-developed and closed-source, forming a very high technical barrier, just like the Apple system in smart phones. The difference is that Apple has Android competition, DJI does not. This is called "applying the same way to the other" - you European and American countries do not like to engage in patent barriers? Don't you like to do "small courtyard walls"? Well, we Chinese will also play this set, we have accumulated more technology patents on drones than all countries in the world combined, are advanced, and can not see the second place in the visual range, can be very confident to say "far ahead". Don't the Americans like sanctions? How can it fail on DJI, which is independent and masters all core technologies? We want to tell the Americans clearly: DJI is just the beginning, and there will be more and more Chinese companies that are not afraid of US sanctions. We can even turn the tables on the US and cut off their drones. From then on, the attack and defense changed shape, Kou can be sanctioned, I can also be sanctioned!
