Stefanik Leads Letter to Biden Administration Urging Investigation into Communist Chinese Drone Maker Autel

Press Release

Date: Nov. 30, 2023
Location: Washington, DC

"Autel drones made in Communist China present an unacceptable national security risk and should not be allowed to operate in America. All Chinese companies, including Autel, must abide by Communist China's foreign espionage laws and provide the Chinese Communist Party with data that their products collect. Chinese drones are now mapping American critical infrastructure giving Communist China detailed images of our energy grid, agricultural technology, and other critical infrastructure. I am proud to join Chairman Gallagher in demanding that the Biden Administration conduct an investigation into Autel to fully assess the clear national security risks of allowing these drones to operate in America and to add Autel to export control lists so they are not able to benefit from American innovation and ingenuity. It is past time that we prohibit the use of Communist Chinese drones in America and I am proud to lead this effort."
