Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.), chairman of the Chinese Communist Party Ranking Committee, said that even if the drones around New Jersey are amateurs, He said Chinese-made drones still pose a risk because they have large bodies. It's very likely that they have a high market share and will be able to access the data collected by these drones. Because we have to do it for every customer around the world. ”
Krishnamoorthi said he had not been briefed on the drones around New Jersey, but said: [are] There are a lot of amateur drones in the airspace, many made in China, including the loosely controlled DJI drones, which account for 50% of all drones on the commercial market. occupied. Either way, we need to figure out what's going on. ”
Later, after discussion turned to the Chinese who had flown a drone over Vandenberg Space Force Base and were attempting to fly to China, Krishnamoorthi said: “It's very likely that they will have access to the data collected by these drones. You know, every company in China, anywhere in the world, has access to user data for their products, user data for every customer. You have to provide backdoor access.”
