    lol this definitely will impact the economy. in agriculture, DJI/XAG (both chinese) drones are increasingly used in spraying operations because they’re cheaper and more efficient than sprayers, there are many businesses that make a living providing this drone spraying service and there is no competition to DJI/XAG, banning it will hurt these businesses and producers since they’ll have to go back to less efficient sprayers. It’s not huge but these add up.
