U.S. cybersecurity and intelligence agencies, including CISA and the FBI, have issued warnings about the national security risks posed by Chinese-manufactured drones. In their new product, 'Cybersecurity Guidance: Chinese-Manufactured UAS', they recommend that critical infrastructure partners in the U.S. avoid using these drones, suggesting they pose a significant risk to data security and may facilitate espionage. The agencies have advised transitioning to alternative drone solutions. Concurrently, legislative efforts are underway to address the issue, with Representative Gregory Meeks referencing an Executive Order and his bipartisan bill, HR 6349, aimed at preventing American technology from aiding China's military advances. Representatives Stefanik and Gallagher have also called for a ban on CCP spy drones in the U.S. in response to the CISA report.

RM @RepGregoryMeeks: Beijing exploits, steals & diverts cutting-edge American tech to fuel its military. Americans shouldn’t be making China’s job easier by funding companies that develop these technologies. @POTUS’ EO & my bipartisan Bill, HR 6349, ensure that doesn't happen. https://t.co/fkoeADiZHq
