Mavic 4 not available to US !

I'm familiar with rule 13, I guess I'm not familiar with your definition of "politics" then. Or maybe I didn't see the posts you had to delete. Talking about countries and policies in a global economy or geopolitical manner, is pretty much impossible not to do when they are directly tied to the issue at hand, which is the U.S. not being able to purchase certain DJI products. I mean DJI mavics are still at the heart of the discussion, and the comments I've seen.

I'm not trying to be sarcastic, seriously, I don't plan to, or want to, break any of the rules, I know they exist for a reason, I guess I'm just asking for clarification, so I know where I need to re-word, or phrase something differently, thank you.

Pretty sure discussing the fantasy about the demise of society, the downfall of China as a country, and the end of DJI as a company in the next 5 - 10 years is politics.

My grandpa told me once that the best way to maintain perfect dentition for life is to refrain from discussing religion or politics.

Oh, just about every single developed nation on the planet is seen as a better trading partner than the U.S. right now. We actually started building out our manufacturing infrastructure about 4-5yrs ago because of China's impeding collapse, much of it fueled by investors jumping ship from a sinking China. But since the orange man came into office like a bull in a China shop (pun intended...lol), those investors have jumped ship from the U.S. too and are looking elsewhere.

I get it. But the harm done to the US by the current "strategy" is not likely to be transitory. Our trading partners now fully understand how vulnerable they are by relying on the global trading system mostly controlled by the US when the US looses it's way. Therefore, China is looking better to them all the time. Not as a social society, but as a trading partner.

And, I don't agree that the US has approached the level of current Chinese manufacturing in most cases. It will take decades for that to happen. My opinion

That timeframe, is possibly too generous. And somewhat unfortunate in several ways.
For many years, whatever I purchased, I always tried to buy US made products.
Had to give that effort up many years ago.
Same with spending money in my general area. Too many times the product wasn’t available but could be delivered in a few days via the all powerful internet.
I have succumbed to progress!

Funny you say this. If you do some googling, you will find that global perception is shifting in regards that China is seen as a more reliable trading partner than the US after all of this chaos. Kind of tough to get your mind around.

yes ,in Australia ,we are certainly more relaxed about trading with China than America ATM

I'd be more careful with openly flaunting a bunch of successful long-term trade deals with China during a time when US is being challenged. Know who your friends are. Your country might get a "letter in the mail" and of course, everything else outside of trade about the relationship between 2 countries is also on the table.

the 30% China Tariff is to last till the end of 2025 so there will most likely never be a price drop this year. So we end up paying about $500 extra for this drone.

Or in my case, more than $1,100 than the rest of the world. It is what it is...as long as I get it.

the creative bundle would had sold for about $3850 or a little more so $800 more at the most is my guess. ($4650 at B&H tax free credit card deal)

Sounds likely, thanks.

I wouldn't fight it, just hang tight and it will probably pass. I think you'll find most European countries are not raising a fuss because they know it will pass and if they just lay low, it will be over soon and back to business. If you fight it (aka Canada) then you end up with a big headache. No one should be cozying up to China picking sides against the US during these times, just don't get involved in the stupidity. MYOB is my advice. I would pass on the reciprocal tariffs, let it implode.
