#2Sanction for sanction, simple as that. Western countries like to sanction the shit out of China, but they don't like it when then they do it?

First sentence of article.
>A few weeks ago, China announced sanctions on Skydio for selling drones to Taiwan, where our only customer today is the National Fire Agency.

#4First I was surprised because I was under the impression that Skydio was nowhere near DJI in terms of functionality and quality, but then I see it's about Taiwan..
I feel like China is watching intently the ru-ua situation, and depending how it pans out with international support, Taiwan may find itself in hot water.

#5I find the author's letter a bit tone deaf. It acknowledges that China is sanctioning Skydio for military reasons, but ignores that the US is doing the same.

Yeah of course, because China is sanctioning them because they are making it harder for the PROC to invade and annex another free country.

Sanction aside, this action is a wake-up call for all US based companies operating in geopolitically sensitive industries that they absolutely need to diversify their supply chain away from China.
And in terms of the sanction itself, it’s definitely a reasonable response by China, given the fact that DJI is heavily sanctioned by the US government.

#8This is great. Now everyone will get serious decoupling battery supply chain from China. Maybe companies making EVs will understand the stake.

...Yeah? That is pretty much in line with how sanction works in the West.
US has sanctioned for decades companies that cooperate economically with "enemy states" (Iran/Cuba/Russia/China), I don't see how China would be different.

The USA invaded and annexed lots of free countries.
Invading and annexing isn't some weird thing no one usually does.
Taiwan is the product of a recent civil war.
