It's a good question, what are the geopolitical aspects of a Chinese company running cloud software and shipping firmware to a bunch of flying cameras?
Does that mean they can run the metadata through machine learning and save all the video their filter decides is interesting?
That sounds like it has geopolitical aspects whether they're doing it right now or not.

You are very much purchasing a drone from the Chinese state. Corporations are required to have a certain percentage of party members. Instead, putting that same money into a corporation from a place where privacy is valued and there isn't a direct benefit to the state is best in my opinion. All of these little micro-choices add up in the long run. I think, if you value personal freedom and rule of law instead of rule by law, you need to stop funneling money into the Chinese economy. Surely a company in Taiwan could be competitive in this space?
