The Biden administration's potential rule to restrict or ban Chinese drones arises from national security concerns about their use by adversarial governments for espionage and infrastructure threats.
The Commerce Department highlighted that the involvement of countries like China and Russia in drone technology may lead to unacceptable risks, prompting a request for public comments on possible regulations.
Drones, originally developed for hobbyist use, have grown increasingly sophisticated, raising fears they could be exploited by foreign governments due to their advanced capabilities in imaging and surveillance.
While drones assist various sectors in the U.S., the administrations are worried that laws in adversary nations like China could compel companies to cooperate with state interests, undermining national security.
