Chinese drone giant DJI was fined nearly $2 billion by the U.S. government in recent days, a news that has attracted widespread attention. The fine was imposed on DJI's alleged violations of U.S. patent law and export control regulations. This incident has once again raised questions about how companies can operate in a globalized context. However, for DJI, whether this fine should be paid has become the focus of many followers.
DJI rises
Founded in 2006, DJI Technology Co., Ltd. is an enterprise with R&D, production and sales of drones and related intelligent devices as its main business. Its most famous product is the "DJI drone", which is also the leader in the global drone market.
Since its establishment, DJI has actively explored market demand and constantly innovated. Its UAV product line covers consumer, professional and industrial grades, ranging from small and portable consumer drones to professional and industrial drones used in security, agriculture, surveying and mapping.
In addition, DJI is also committed to the research and development of intelligent hardware and related technologies, launched flight control systems, cameras, gimbal and other related products, and has carried out continuous exploration in artificial intelligence, machine vision, computer vision and other fields. These efforts have made DJI's drone products widely recognized and sought after in the market.
DJI drones are leading the world in terms of technology, including the United States. As one of the world's largest drone manufacturers, DJI has been committed to technological innovation and product research and development, with independent intellectual property rights and patented technologies. For example, DJI's drones use high-precision GPS navigation systems, inertial navigation systems, and visual navigation systems to ensure accurate flight and stability.
In addition, DJI has also developed a variety of high-end sensors such as high-definition cameras and thermal imaging cameras, so that drones are widely used in security, mapping, agriculture and other fields. In terms of flight control system, DJI has also developed the world's most advanced flight controller, which can realize functions such as autonomous takeoff, landing, and obstacle avoidance. And these technologies are what the United States is red in.
Huge fines?
Recently, the US government fined Chinese drone giant DJI Technology Co., Ltd., with a fine of nearly $2 billion. The incident involved DJI's violations of U.S. patent infringement and export controls, which were clearly U.S. patent traps. Because the patents they are talking about are shared, every company that produces drones can use this technology.
In addition, the U.S. government also accused DJI of violating export control violations and violating relevant U.S. export regulations. DJI exported drones and related technologies to Syria, Iran and other countries sanctioned by the United States without permission, suspected of violating US export control regulations.
The US fine against DJI can be said to be a microcosm of the US-China technology competition and trade dispute. In the context of the US-China trade war and technology blockade, the US government has been strengthening the supervision and restraint of Chinese companies, especially in sensitive areas and key technologies. As a representative enterprise in China's drone field, DJI has naturally become the focus of the US government's strengthening of supervision.
Opinions
I don't think DJI should be fined because the U.S. government has its own problems in this matter. First, the U.S. government adopted double standards in this case, and the way of enforcing Chinese companies is clearly different from the way domestic companies are treated. The U.S. government is very strict on the protection of intellectual property rights of domestic companies, while patent litigation against Chinese companies is relatively lax. Such double standards actually violate the provisions of the World Trade Organization and are a manifestation of trade protectionism.
Secondly, the US government also has problems with the technological blockade. The U.S. government has been restricting the development and progress of Chinese companies through technological blockades. For example, the US government has repeatedly imposed a technology blockade on Huawei, prohibiting it from using American technology and equipment, which has seriously hindered Huawei's development. Similarly, DJI has also been blocked by the US government, prohibiting it from using key US technologies, which has caused DJI's development in the US market to suffer great losses.
To sum up, DJI should not be fined, because the US government has its own problems in this matter. The double standards and technological blockade measures adopted by the US government violate the regulations of the World Trade Organization and have caused great obstacles to the development and progress of Chinese enterprises.
And Apple uses DJI's drone technology in some products, but does not pay the related patent fees. This means that Apple has committed infringement and needs to pay patent fees to DJI. However, Apple did not take the initiative to pay the patent fee to DJI, which is undoubtedly a double standard, if we want to pay it, let Apple pay it first!
