DJI is not exporting drones to Russia or Ukraine. But DJI can't prevent people in non-involved (militarily) countries purchase its drones and send it to Ukraine. Since there is no direct involvement, DJI has already done what it legally could to limit its liability. Why would Chinese customs stop DJI exports to the rest of the world?
So far, US have only announced its intention to sanction China over military support (whether it's arm sales or deployment of PLA). Buying Russian oil is an economic decision, not military. Until Putin shut off pipelines last week, EU was also buying Russian gas.
If US domestic inflation is such an important concern, why did US trade representative Tai refuse to lower trade tariffs? Biden's administration could just intensify the spin that sacrifices are needed to ensure a Ukrainian victory over evil Russian invaders. Successful Ukrainian counter attack just added more confidence and credibility to this narrative.
As for the midterm elections, what makes you think a republican controlled congress would be any less anti-china compared to the current one? Anti china is currently one of the few truly bipartisan issues in US politics.
