Chinese drone manufacturer DJI announced on 24 February 2026 that it has filed a lawsuit against the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), arguing that its practice of adding certain drones to the control list is flawed and violates the US Constitution. Commenting on DJI’s lawsuit, SMU Associate Professor of Finance Fu Fangjian cited the US Supreme Court's ruling last week that US President Donald Trump's imposition of reciprocal tariffs on other countries was unconstitutional, arguing that appropriate confidence should be maintained in the US judicial system.
