What they said was they were afraid to be SEEN with PLA reps at their facilities because they were afraid there were American spies at that moment. This is a fundamental difference.
Also I should remind you DJI is already sanctioned

It is still dumb why China should accept its companies to be treated this way vs say Boeing. As usual the West is all about projection. It is them who do military-civil fusion in the first place.
It’s a consequence of financial weakness, at the end of the day. Chinese companies wanting to avoid sanctions is because most of the world still uses the dollar and the purchasing power of the West far exceeds China’s in nominal terms, due to the strength of the dollar.
This is a double edged sword (because it makes US labor extremely expensive and thus not competitive), but it is the super power of the US.
But I thought China Communist and the companies need to do everything the government says!!!! Nicky told me so!!!
I have been watching this guy. US is planning to do a multi-front war including Iran. South America and Russia. If US attacks Russia with long range missiles from Ukraine, what is China going to do? Is China going to supply missiles to Russia at this point?
These three commentators still think the main focus is China despite reports saying that US forces are moving away from China.

If the US supplies long range missiles to Ukraine breaking existing treaties then Russia can do the same. Just think about it. The Kalibr is way more modern than the Tomahawk. It has twice the range in the land attack version and has supersonic terminal velocity in some versions. The Tomahawk is subsonic. The Kalibr can also act as an anti-shipping missile. As for the Tomahawk they are thinking about it.
Because of treaties Russia nerfs its export Kalibr. What if they un-nerf it?
Russia produces more Kalibr missiles than the US produces Tomahawks.
Kalibr-M can reach half the US mainland from Venezuela. You can probably hit the whole US from Cuba.
Kalibr can be put inside standard container units.
The US government should really think about this.

The US has already broken the export treaty when it sold Tomahawks to Japan.
If you step back to look at the big picture, it's the US that created the era-defining technological innovations post-WWII and reaped most of the benefits of such innovations. Japan has a record of lacking such innovations. What Japan had was process innovations and perfectionism on mature product categories that moved slowly, such as the ICE auto industry. Most people think the Plaza Accord accelerated, rather than caused, Japan's decline.
China's proven strength is now called "fast follower." The US is worried that China can catch up so quickly that the US can no longer profit from its own innovations. Articles like this are not meant to spell out the solutions, and certainly not every sentence is accurate. But the idea of thinking about national characteristics and strength is very useful. To be clear, each of the three countries has done scaling, process innovation, and technological innovation. But the general strength of each country so far is pretty clear.
My view of China's SOEs is that they are mostly process innovators. I can't imagine the next big thing will come out of SOE. But my defense for China's SOEs is that their role is building the tech and economic foundation for China. I believe it gives Chinese innovators an edge over US innovators.
I have faith that more era-defining innovations will come out of China in the next 10 years, and my money is entirely on Chinese companies. That said, my bets are mostly on Chinese culture because I think it's even more underestimated than Chinese tech.
hence why earlier this year, brands were having haemorrhoids over Chinese OEMs marketing to western consumers directly via TikTok
I’m starting to see a resemblance between Americans and their Anglo wannabe allies and Indian twitter posters.
The US prefers to use proxies like Ukraine; the only opportunity where Russia and China can strike the US mainland short of direct war is the anticipated US “special military operation” with Venezuela.
The USA thinks right now they can bum rush those other three nations before fully focusing on China, but they assume that China is doing completely nothing which is not true. China is doing right now what they other three cannot do, economically screw the USA up whilst ensuring that Russia and Iran amongst other stay afloat by not obeying any of the western sanctions on any of those nations. It’s the reason why the G7 right right now is in a state of economic hardship right now with the potential of a real collapse. Think about it, if the USA is doing good right now, then the farmers in the USA wouldn’t be crying about bankruptcy along with the state of the USA economy being in such a bad state that Trump simply cannot fix the problems it has right now no matter what he does, nor would he try to shut down the US government to force cuts that will demolish the country even further. One of the major reasons is quite simple, China isn’t playing ball with the USA anymore
