I watched Kevin Finisterre's talk on Youtube. He brings up some serious issues with the industry at large with respect to DJI.

The business with the bounty and NDA really makes DJI look like a bunch of shady fawkers.

Yeah this one is pretty interesting.
 
Here we go again, a document purporting to be from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations SAC Intelligence Program Los Angeles dated the 9th of August 2017, has landed in my inbox.

I am just not sure if this is the real deal or not, and will let you decide dear reader. I will place the DHS-DJI memo here.

Interesting use of the word, likely on the part of ICE. This, of course, is different from proven.

(U//FOUO) Special Agent in Charge Intelligence Program (SIP) Los Angeles is generating this product in response to several requests for information received from the intelligence and law enforcement communities. It is based on information derived from open source reporting and a reliable source within the unmanned aerial systems (UAS) industry with first and secondhand access. The date of information is 9 August 2017.

(U//LES) SIP Los Angeles assesses with moderate confidence that Chinese-based company DJI Science and Technology is providing U.S. critical infrastructure and law enforcement data to the Chinese government. SIP Los Angeles further assesses with high confidence the company is selectively targeting government and privately owned entities within these sectors to expand its ability to collect and exploit sensitive U.S. data.
(U) Since 2015, DJI has targeted a number of U.S. companies in the critical infrastructure and law enforcement sectors to market its UAS. As of July 2017, at least ten large companies and organizations operating in the railroad, utility, media, farming, education, and federal law enforcement sectors have already purchased and begun using DJI UAS. The most frequent uses include mapping land, inspecting infrastructure, conducting surveillance, and monitoring hazardous materials.

(U//LES) SIP Los Angeles assesses with high confidence the critical infrastructure and law
enforcement entities using DJI systems are collecting sensitive intelligence that the Chinese government could use to conduct physical or cyber attacks against the United States and its population. Alternatively, China could provide DJI information to terrorist organizations, hostile non-state entities, or state-sponsored groups to coordinate attacks against U.S. critical infrastructure. The UAScapture close-up imagery and GPS information on water systems, rail systems, hazardous material storage systems, first responders’ activity, and construction of highways, bridges, and rails.

Every Chinese company works at some level for the CPC. Many have been completely underwritten by the CPC for the single purpose of building the state. Do not project your "western business ethics" into the equation. That math will not work. Talk to any business exec who has tried to do business with China. Free enterprise will always drop its shorts in exchange for short term profits or cheap products. In the words of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Give it away give it away now.
