SHANGHAI: Chinese drone maker DJI, which dominates the global consumer market, said Saturday (Oct 19) it was suing the US Department of Defence, complaining that Washington had "erroneously" included the company on a Chinese military company blacklist.

It has faced scrutiny from Washington in recent years, including for its alleged role in surveilling ethnic minorities in China, and DJI drones have reportedly been used extensively by both sides in the war in Ukraine.
