The United States' "fear of China" intensified, Biden looked fierce, risked reversing, signed a ban, and was determined to ** Chinese drones, but I didn't expect that the first to complain was not Chinese, Biden this time, I am afraid that he will fall into the pit he dug again.
1. Eighty percent of the "cakes" have been divided by Chinese enterprises
Although during this period, Sino-US relations have shown signs of warming, "competition" and "game" are still full of China and the United States, and the malicious suppression of China by the US policy is everywhere, such as chips, ** and so on.
This time, the United States again feels that Chinese drones are "dangerous".
According to sources, Biden recently signed the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2024, which contains a number of provisions on deepening the security posture and cooperation with Asia-Pacific alliesOne of them is quite eye-catching, the US side will prohibit federal agencies from using Chinese drones.
So, what exactly is it that makes the United States so wary of Chinese drones?
First of all, it is the "big cake" of the UAV market that the United States is eyeing, and China's UAVs have taken a large piece of the "cake" by virtue of their advanced technological advantages, according to dataIn 2022, among the top five drone companies in the U.S. market, 3 brands are Chinese.
These three brands occupy a market share of up to 85%, that is to say, the US drone market has been dominated by Chinese companies, which is unbearable for the United States.
Secondly, Chinese-made UAVs have become irreplaceable in the United States.
2. Chinese drones have won unanimous praise from both the US military and civilians
It is undeniable that the cutting-edge technology level of the United States is still world-class, and American-made drones, placed on a global scale, are also the leaders in this industry.
But the cost of manufacturing in the United States is too high, and compared with Chinese drones, it is clear that the latter is more cost-effective and cost-effective.
The United States has also thought about lowering the price and grabbing market share with Chinese UAVs, but the industrial chain in the field of UAVs is not as mature as China, and there is no room for price reduction, otherwise it will be a loss-making deal.
In the United States, agriculture, industry, scientific research, photography and other industries, the demand for drones is very huge, but for them, it is obviously wiser to choose Chinese drones with reliable technology and close to the people.
In addition to the civilian field, some institutions of the US military also have **, which also favor Chinese UAVs. In their opinion, compared with European and American products, many of the technologies of Chinese drones are still original, which can more effectively assist in handling cases.
Under such circumstances, those politicians in the United States who have been clamoring for a long time about the "China threat" are really uncomfortable.
In Florida, the United States implemented a small ban on Chinese drones, but unexpectedly, the result was completely unexpected.
3. Without Chinese drones, there is no heart to work?
A month after China's drone ban was implemented, the Florida legislature began studying replacing the drones, which would cost about $25 million. Some lawmakers have publicly denounced the ban as a waste of taxpayers' money.
The congressman said that if Florida wants to replace drones for law enforcement agencies across the state, the cost of new drones will be twice as much, because in response to market demand, American drone manufacturers have also taken the opportunity to raise prices.
Some U.S. police officers said that Chinese drones are more reliable than other manufacturers' products, and in the past year or so, there have been 5 failures of other drones in the police force, and the failure rate of Chinese drones is "0", which is likely to lead to ** being in danger when performing tasks.
After the ban went into effect, some police officers began to use it as an excuse to be passive and slacking offSome people said that if they could not use Chinese drones, they would not be arresting prisoners in the alleys because these unknown and small spaces pose a threat to the safety of the police.
Ironically, the United States is shouting sanctions against Chinese drones on the one hand, but the other side is using them as usual, and some ** pointed out that the US Department of Agriculture is still buying "DJI" drones normally, and in the entire Department of Agriculture, Chinese drones account for two-thirds of the fleet.
In addition,Knowing that there was a ban, the US Secret Service also purchased another batch of "DJI" drones last year.
Seeing that the United States is jumping frantically to sanction Chinese drones, China's reaction is much calmer.
4, Mao Ning responded, showing the demeanor of a great country
DJI" has said that in fact, the market is the only factor that determines the direction of the product, even if the United States promulgates layer after layer of bans, but it can't hold down the huge market demand, there will be buying and selling, and there will be comparison.
"DJI" is very confident that as long as we want to, we can still sell it in the United StatesBecause in essence, the most uncomfortable thing about sanctioning Chinese drones is the United States itself, never China, because Chinese drones are not only a market for the United States.
And for the unreasonable sanctions of the US side,China's spokesperson Mao Ning once said that we firmly oppose the United States using the National Defense Authorization Act to include negative content related to China.
In addition, Mao Ning stressed that it is not in the interests of any party for the US to exaggerate China's threat to suppress Chinese companies, and the US should abandon the Cold War mentality and ideological bias and create a good environment for China-US cooperation in various fields.
It is worth mentioning that China's warnings are never just words.
A few days ago, in accordance with the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Act, China imposed sanctions on a number of U.S. leaders, banned them from entering the country, froze their assets in China, and prohibited organizations and individuals in China from trading and cooperating with them.
If the US side does not reflect on itself, then what we have is patience and strength to continue to play the game of "sanctions and countermeasures" with the United States.
