Shenzhen-based DJI, the world's biggest drone maker, denied online speculation that it planned to lay off 50% of its employees, saying it is very busy with a number of new projects as countries around the world battle the effects of the Covid-19 outbreak.

“DJI is busy with new projects and will bring huge surprises to global consumers soon,” said DJI spokesman Xie Tiandi in a statement on China’s Twitter-like social media platform Weibo on Thursday. “We don’t have time to deal with absurd and false speculation.”
