The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is considering banning certain electronics from China, including DJI drones. So far, the commission is studying the issue, but it could ban or restrict their sale in the U.S.

Tech expert Omar Gallaga says the commission is also looking at other Chinese-made products. 

Highlights from this segment:

– DJI drones are already hard to find on store shelves.

– The FCC cites potential national security threats from some Chinese products.

– DJI says a planned audit of its products has not yet been done.

– TP-Link routers could also face restrictions because of their Chinese origin.
