Maybe DJI *is* using Uyghur labor to build drones?

Droning on and on...

I don’t know anything. This whole customs thing seems simply like harassment of DJI for geopolitical reasons.

Yet, something that seems to have a straightforward resolution isn't getting resolved. From what I understand, DJI doesn't manufacture in the affected region, so the "investigation" should have been short and quick.

But it's not getting resolved. While I think it near certain this is all a bunch of political gamesmanship, could there be an actual snag in the investigation by customs where some parts have been determined to actually be in violation?

I certainly hope not. It would be really crushing to learn I'd purchased a product built with forced labor.

Doesn't bother me as much as it probably should, not because I don't care, but because I'm already convinced much of what I purchase and own today is the result of at least some type of forced labor. Sad to say but even the USA, as free as we are, we have individuals and government that abuse their citizens and misuse the system for personal gain and it's mostly financially driven. It wouldn't surprise me if DJI were no different and without going further into politics, I've felt this way for decades and long before drones entered the picture, and while I haven't made peace with it per se, it stands as one of those things not very much you can do about it in the long run. I'm trying to pass the activist mantle onto the next generation but they don't want to seem to pick it up, they're busy. We are losing our way..... :(
