The Chinese drone maker DJI Technology Co said it would temporarily suspend sales in Russia and Ukraine to make sure no one uses our drones in combat. Some other U.S. media outlets have praised what they described as a rare move by a Chinese firm since the beginning of the Russian-Ukraine conflict. The details behind DJI's decision are sketchy, but for anyone who has been following the relentless pressuring campaign launched by a mob of Western officials and media outlets to force Chinese businesses into taking sides over the Russia-Ukraine conflict, it should be obvious that DJI's move is a direct result of such a blackmail tactic. It is not the conflict per se, but the West's increasing pressuring campaign that poses the biggest threat to Chinese companies operating in Russia and Ukraine. The West's unilateral economic sanctions against Russia pose the biggest risk to Chinese businesses, as it is a result of its reckless economic sanctions against Russia. Under such circumstances, it is understandable that Chinese businesses try to find ways to avoid potential complications, as DJI clearly did. Chinese businesses are under enormous pressure to maintain normal business operations in Russia. In the case of DJI, Western officials and media outlets have repeatedly leveled unsubstantiated claims about the use of the firm's drones in the conflict, even though the company has made it clear that it does not have control over the use of its products. Such claims are ridiculous and grossly unfair. It begs the question: what company in the world can control the use of its products? DJI seemed to have made a balanced decision as a private company facing huge pressure from Western officials and media outlets. The company did not just suspend sales in the Russia market, but also the Ukrainian market - a balancing act. Chinese companies should not be forced to make such decisions in the first place. Based on geopolitical calculations alone, the West is clearly going to punish Russia, but China has an objective and fair position in the Russia-Ukraine conflict as well as normal business ties with both countries. The West has no right to force China or Chinese businesses to take any side. This should be common sense, but arrogant Western officials and media outlets, particularly those in the US, are used to bullying others at will. Such bullying tactics can be left unchecked when they hurt China's legitimate rights and interests. After Western politicians and media outlets taste blood, they will not stop until they find more Chinese companies to attack. DJI is the first major Chinese company to suspend business operations over the Russian-Ukraine conflict, but more Chinese firms could face more pressure from the West, as they pointed out. Chinese interests are at risk due to a trend that needs to be stopped. Chinese officials have pledged to take all necessary measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies. Chinese officials don't make empty promises, unlike some US politicians. Protecting Chinese nationals and Chinese interests overseas is a priority for the Chinese government. It would be surprising if officials had not discussed ways of protecting Chinese interests against the blackmail tactics of the US and its Western allies, given China's track record in carrying out that task. It is almost certain that there will be countermeasures from China if the West moves further to hurt Chinese interests.
