Just like in 2017 - Notice the lack of an Anti-China message here. They will gaslight us and convince us that its all because of the US.
Do NOT be fooled. This is the same messaging that Russia uses in Ukraine. Chinese actions alone violated our sovereign rights.
Germany just banned Chinese drones and cars from its military bases.
The Bundeswehr ordered units to stop flying commercial Chinese drones, including DJI models, immediately. A counterintelligence review found the risk of data collection too high. Existing systems will be replaced with German or European ones. Chinese cars from BYD, Geely, and NIO are also barred from secure areas. Soldiers who own them park outside and walk in.
Cameras, sensors, and connected systems made the risk clear. Poland banned Chinese cars from defense sites earlier this year. The U.S. Air Force barred BYD vehicles from Kadena last month.
The equipment was already on base. The ban is catching up.
