So that's a really disappointing thing that, even without an audit or anything related to that in a country like the United States of America, DJI has to face such a worst-case kind of situation. So now you know what a regular ban will do to DJI if it is not a retroactive ban. So even after the ban, the atmosphere will remain a bit okay for DJI users, and you can still buy the already announced drones from DJI, as well as their other products, from online or offline stores. Servicing holds initially via imported parts, but Adam Welsh warns: "If a product is…...
