DJI vows continued legal action after U.S. court orders to review its 'military company' designation_我的网站

一 |     (ECNS) -- Chinese drone maker DJI said Monday it would continue its legal challenge after a U.S. federal appeals court ordered a lower court to review a case over the company's designation as a “Chinese military company” by the U.S. Department of Defense.    DJI reiterated that it has consistently opposed the use of its products and technologies for any military or warfare purposes. The company said it would continue to defend the lawful rights and interests of DJI and its users worldwide through legal channels.    The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled Friday that the lower court had erred in its review of whether DJI contributes to China’s defense industrial base, including by declining to examine classified evidence. The case was sent back to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for further proceedings.    DJI was first placed on the U.S. Department of Defense’s list of “Chinese military companies” in October 2022. After repeatedly opposing the designation, the company filed suit in October 2024. A district court upheld the designation in 2025, and DJI later appealed.    (By Intern Yang Hongran, Zhang Dongfang)                    。

二 |     Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment has responded to Sameer Wankhede's defamation suit over a scene in Aryan Khan's show The Ba***ds of Bollywood. They claimed that while the show depicts an overzealous officer, it does not reference the Cordelia cruise case. IRS officer Sameer Wankhede pleaded in the Delhi High Court seeking an interim injunction on Aryan Khan's series. Responding to Wankhede's claims, senior advocate Neeraj Kishan Kaul, appearing for Red Chillies said that satire and fiction can co-exist.     "Can satire and fiction co-exist? There is no law that it cannot co-exist. I may be partly inspired by real persons and stories, yet there can be disclaimers, no problem with two existing together. Where is the ill-will or malice? This is about a success story in a Bollywood party. We are not looking at people who are sensitive; hurt is not ground for malice. Can you pick a stray instance, a passage here or there? The series is about 20 different issues. We do not show a documentary on the Cordelia cruise incident. I am inspired by overzealous officers. That is far from saying that this is the Cordelia cruise story."          For the uninitiated, in 2021, Wankhede who was with the Narcotics Control Bureau, arrested Aryan Khan from the Cordellia cruise over a drugs case. However, Khan's name was cleared later, and he was released from jail. In his show, there is a scene where an inspector from a fictional anti-narcotics agency arrests an actor over a false drug case. Wankhede argued that the officer shown in the show resembles him and urged that the scene should be removed from the show.     Taking a dig at Wankhede, advocate Kaul also argued that Wankhede loves giving interviews to the media and spoke about the issues after the show released.          He continued, "You cannot say that the person depicting ills in Bollywood cannot show overzealous officers. I cannot be responsible for what other people say… I am fully entitled to depict issues ailing Bollywood. Even if I am to project someone, a public official cannot be that thin-skinned. Even if I portray you unjustly it is still not a case. Every scene in this show is exaggerated. I am not ridiculing him or the emblem. I am talking about officials who have lofty idea."     Wankhede sued Red Chillies, Netflix and Aryan Khan for defamation.     The next hearing on this case is on Thursday.     Also Read: ’Not Without Bias’- Delhi High Court Pulls Up Red Chillies Over Sameer Wankhede’s Defamation Case。
