    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A report from The New York Times highlights a bill advanced by the House of Energy and Commerce Committee last month that could ground DJI’s fleet of drones across the country.

    This bars communications equipment or services that “pose a national security risk” from running on US networks.

    She tells the NYT that government agencies have found that DJI provides information about “critical infrastructure” in the US to China.

    “DJI presents an unacceptable national security risk, and it is past time that drones made by Communist China are removed from America.”

    On Wednesday, President Joe Biden signed a bill that will ban TikTok from operating in the US unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, divests the app in nine months.

    The House could vote to move forward with the Countering CCP Drones Act in the next month or so, according to the NYT.


    The original article contains 363 words, the summary contains 143 words. Saved 61%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      Dear god, they are really calling it the “Countering CCP Drones Act”. That name itself gives it away that the act stems from baseless China Bad nonsense.
