Stefanik, Moolenaar Condemn CCP-Drone Company DJI’s Use of Uyghur Slave Labor

Saratoga, N.Y. - Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party Chairman John Moolenaar released the following statement:

"For years CCP-drone manufacturer DJI has been rightfully blacklisted by the U.S. government for actively aiding the CCP in carrying out surveillance for their genocidal crimes against Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Now we have discovered that DJI is not only aiding this genocide but also forcing Uyghur slave labor in Xinjiang to manufacture the very drones used to surveil the human rights abuses against them in direct violation of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. DJI is advancing the capabilities of the Chinese military, carrying out human rights abuses, using slave labor, and spying on Americans. It is past time to end U.S. dependence on this anti-American company and bolster American manufacturing by getting our unanimously passed Countering CCP Drones Act signed into law."
