The US has slapped more restrictions on Chinese drone-maker DJI and seven other Chinese companies.
On Thursday, the Treasury Department put the companies on an investment exclusion list, banning US citizens from buying and selling shares in them.
It has been alleged that DJI’s drone technology has been used for the surveillance of Uyghur Muslims in China.
However the ban is largely symbolic as DJI is not a publicly-traded company.
Consumers in the US can continue to buy and use DJI drones.
