In the notice, officials warned that they have “strong concerns about any technology product that takes American data into the territory of an authoritarian state that permits its intelligence services to have unfettered access to that data or otherwise abuses that access.”

The notice, titled “Chinese Manufactured Unmanned Aircraft Systems,” did not named any company. However, China’s SZ DJI Technology Co Ltd, the world’s largest maker of consumer drones, issued a statement to refute the notice.

“The security of our technology has been independently verified by the U.S. government and leading U.S. businesses,” it says.
