DJI's forced demolition and core technology controversy in the United States: how do tech giants break the game?
Recently, DJI Technology Co., Ltd. (DJI), a leader in the global drone market, has encountered unprecedented challenges in the U.S. market. According to reports, a U.S. company not only demanded a fine of up to $6 billion on DJI, but also made an unreasonable demand to hand over its core technology. This incident not only aroused widespread concern from the international community, but also made us re-examine the survival and development of enterprises under the global technology competition pattern.
First, let's review the background to this event. As a leader in the field of drones, DJI's products enjoy a high reputation around the world. However, the U.S. market has recently encountered unprecedented difficulties. It is reported that a company in the United States filed a lawsuit with the court on the grounds that DJI infringed its intellectual property rights, and put forward a high fine and a request to hand over the core technology.
It is worth noting that in the teardown report of the DJI drone, 80% of the chips were confirmed to be non-domestic. This discovery undoubtedly adds to the already tense technology relationship between China and the United States. On the one hand, the United States is trying to suppress DJI by imposing heavy fines and demanding the surrender of core technologies in order to maintain its hegemony in the field of drones; On the other hand, American chips occupy an important position in the chip supply chain that DJI relies on, which also makes DJI face huge challenges in dealing with US suppression.
Faced with such a dilemma, DJI did not choose to give in. They firmly stated that they would rather withdraw from the U.S. market than hand over their core technology. This attitude has not only won the praise of Chinese netizens, but also shows the backbone and responsibility of Chinese technology companies. The reason why DJI has such confidence is that they have the ability to completely independently develop the core technology in the field of drones. From the flight control system to the propeller technology, DJI has achieved independent research and development, which is the key to their ability to stand.
However, the challenges remain daunting. In response to U.S. crackdown and supply chain risks, DJI has begun to actively seek alternatives to domestic chips and increased investment in independent research and development. They hope to achieve the substitution of domestic chips through independent research and development, so as to get rid of their dependence on American chips. At the same time, DJI is also looking for cooperation opportunities with other countries and regions to expand the international market and reduce its dependence on the U.S. market.
This incident is not only about the survival of DJI, but also triggers us to think about the survival and development of enterprises in the global technology competition landscape. In the era of globalization, scientific and technological cooperation and competition between countries coexist. On the one hand, we should face the challenges and opportunities in the field of science and technology with an open mind, and strengthen international cooperation and exchanges. On the other hand, we should also pay attention to the improvement of independent innovation capabilities and grasp the initiative of core technologies. Only in this way can we remain invincible in the fierce international competition.
For DJI, they need to adhere to the development strategy of independent innovation more firmly, and constantly improve their technical strength and brand influence. At the same time, they need to be more careful in their relations with governments and businesses to avoid getting caught up in unnecessary strife and conflict. Only in this way can DJI continue to maintain its leading position in the global drone market and make greater contributions to the progress and development of human society.
