This is not just Taiwan.
US has all but banned Chinese drones for most govt-related flight ops.
Japan has banned Chinese drones.
In Europe, internal risk-assessment memos are circulating advising security agencies to avoid using Chinese drones.
You’re missing a massive part of the context here.
This particular article may be missing factual evidence to support some of the voiced concerns, but it’s hardly a singular shout in an ocean of silence. It strongly resonates with a rather diverse chorus of voices coming from multiple independent sources.

- emodendroket 5y agoYes, I am well aware that there is an internationally-coordinated "decoupling" campaign from China, which is precisely why I view this story as politically motivated and intentionally misleading. In fact, dubious stories like this are essential to the operation -- you have to give some sort of public cover to get people onboard. There's a reason spies so much time "leaking" stuff to the press.
