I am not sure I follow your point. There have been both National Security risks as well as protectionist economic policy enforced against china that benefits domestic players. In a lot of those protectionist cases, there is either a case of China flooding the market or there are cases where the government makes a choice that its beneficial to keep domestic manufacturers alive.

In the above provided examples its quite clear that there are possible national security risks involved with China being involved in US infrastructure and technology. If DJI was from the EU there would not even be a discussion.

If you have better example beyond hyperbole I am all ears.

1. of course there'll be no 'national security risks' because EU is an ally, and the US is spying on it

2. even though, troubles come to US's allies sometimes, like what Alstom and ASML met

3. EU products are mostly less compatible, overall, it cannot challenge the position where the US holds in the global value chain, so pose less of threat

    You still have not given any evidence how DJI is not a national security risk?

      Doesn't it work the other way round? You'd have to prove that they are a national security risk? Because it's hard to prove a negative.

        Like the way your irony works? I listed my arguments as why you can make a case that they are national security threats. You are more than welcome to call it a fake pretense but the fact remains that the majority of Chinese imports are not restricted and that includes tech/high-tech related items. If you have nothing more than America is ironic I can see where your endless questions stem from.

If DJI was from the EU, the US would manage to buy it.
