RESTRICT Act aint just for telecommunications, it can apply to anything, even something like a graphics card (which is NOT a communication device) or an ebike...

I guess once it passes, DJI can kiss the US market goodbye, no wonder DJI is focusing on remote controller with built in screens now... US isnt satified with just blocking DJI from America but want to kill it died by delisting the DJI fly app from Apple/Google thereby affecting all DJI drones globally... but with built in smart controller which bypasses smartphone its a moot point...

They really itching to push Xi to do the "rug pull"

Former leader of Taiwan Ma Ying-jeou has arrived in Shanghai alongside his entourage. Looks like they arrived in an Air China flight.

He will be visiting Nanjing first by boarding a high speed train from Shanghai Hongqiao station.

Read the actual article, basically the key passages from the senator (so there is nothing left to media speculation) who created the act are here:

"The gateway here is that it has to be foreign-owned from one of these six countries. But it does not require a direct tie to a foreign spy service versus simply being a foreign-based company. In many of these countries, it's hard to discern that difference.

...

I know there's lots of questions around whether we're sure it can be used as a propaganda tool, or whether that's the way it's being used right now. Probably not, right now, but that potential is also something we have to guard against. And this is where some of the tension exists. When you're putting a restriction in place based on the potential of a bad thing happening, it's sometimes harder to make the case. One of the things you have to make clear—and I go back to the Huawei example—it's not like China, at that moment in time, was scanning all the telecom information. But the fact that you could be receiving dozens of updates a day, you could never put in place a full fail-safe system to ensure none of those updates included malicious code or backdoors."

In short, he's saying that "we have no evidence Huawei or Tik Tok ever did anything wrong, but we have to ban them any way because they're from China, and China Bad. It doesn't matter whether there's any links to the Chinese government. By virtue of being from those six countries, they're all presumed guilty. We won't bother with trying to prove any wrong doing - any time there is even a risk that wrong doing is possible, a ban can be justified."

So yeah, it's straight up economic war fare.
