The U.S. government is thinking about banning Chinese drones because they might pose a risk to national security. Drone is a small flying machine used for many purposes, like taking pictures, delivering packages,

After US President Joe Biden’s administration announced on Thursday its consideration of a new rule that could restrict Chinese-made drones in the United States, China condemned the move as an “overstretching” of the concept of national security.

Lawmakers in Washington are seeking to ban new sales of drones from two dominant Chinese manufacturers, arguing they could be used to spy on Americans and that the low-cost models are hurting the U.S. drone industry.

China said on Friday it would take "all necessary measures" in response to the United States announcing it was considering restrictions on commercial Chinese drones for national security reasons.

The relationship between the United States and China has long been defined by competition and mistrust. In recent years, disputes over trade, technology, and national security have only intensified, with both sides seeking to protect their interests while accusing the other of unfair practices.

The U.S. government is considering a major step to restrict China’s involvement in the supply chain for drones, citing national security concerns. This move is part of a broader effort to reduce reliance on China for critical technology and further decouple the two economic giants in the technology and trade sectors.

Beijing has threatened to take "all necessary measures" in response to an effort by the Department of Commerce to regulate or even ban Chinese drones in the US.
