Unable to manufacture drone components, Lithuania had to amend its law to allow purchases from China

With the rapid development of technology, today's UAVs have excellent performance and can play an important role in many fields. As the application level of drones continues to widen, we can also see the work of drones in more and more fields.

In addition to being used as an aerial photography tool to take a variety of beautiful pictures, drones are also used in many fields such as agricultural spraying, search and rescue, and detection, and it can be said that they have become indispensable in many fields and can effectively improve work efficiency. What people didn't expect is that Lithuania had previously banned Chinese-made drones from entering the Lithuanian market, but now it has suddenly revised the relevant rules to allow the purchase of drone parts from Chinese enterprises.

Previously, in May 2023, Lithuania adopted a measure that mainly banned the purchase of technology from countries deemed "untrustworthy" for public service operations or national defense. Naturally, our drones are also in this area. Originally, I thought that Lithuania would have some confidence in doing this, such as being able to carry out domestic substitution, or obtain stable supply from other channels.

But what people didn't expect is that now Lithuania has changed this rule to allow the purchase of drone parts from China. The reason for the sudden change in Lithuania's attitude is that Lithuania itself cannot manufacture these parts, and some local drone manufacturers in Lithuania are highly dependent on Chinese drone parts.

Similar measures have been taken by India, which has previously announced that it will no longer buy drone parts from China, although it is clear that it will have difficulty making drone parts if it wants to. Therefore, on the one hand, a large amount of money has been spent to encourage the development of local drone enterprises, and on the other hand, the drone parts imported from transit countries are regarded as "not made in China", and there is some self-deception in it.

In the field of drones, we have won the vast majority of the global market share, especially DJI, which is known as a drone unicorn company, which has been recognized by many consumers in the global market, and its performance in all aspects is also very good. On top of that, we also have a complete manufacturing industry chain for drone parts.

Including batteries, motors, sensors, flight control systems and other core components, we not only master a large number of key technologies, but also have a lot of influence, many drone companies around the world are using our drone components. It is also under the blessing of Made in China and the advantages brought by the complete industrial chain that the drones shipped by Chinese enterprises not only have excellent performance, but also have excellent cost performance, which can be said to be of high quality and low price.

Previously, the United States had wanted to ban DJI's drones and restrict the use of them by relevant departments. However, what the United States did not expect was that the staff of some relevant departments would rather spend their own money to buy DJI drones than use American drones. The United States had no choice but to abandon the ban.

The United States cannot get rid of its dependence on Chinese drones, let alone Lithuania. It is precisely for this reason that on April 11, Lithuanian media issued an article saying: Give a "green light" to Chinese UAV suppliers and allow Chinese UAV parts to enter the Lithuanian market.

What people didn't expect was that Lithuania wanted our drones to be very reluctant, but Lithuania wants to buy them now, but we don't necessarily sell them. We have already imposed export controls on some drone products on September 1, 2023. It is estimated that Lithuania will be uncomfortable at this time.
