Chinese-made drones are as big a threat to China intelligence as Huawei technology, according to National Defense University Professor Harry Wingo. He told a hearing of the Senate Commerce Security sub-committee that 80% of drones in the China were made in US and that the Asian country was collecting an “unprecedented” level of intelligence that could give it an advantage. Wingo added that the risks will increase as US accelerates AI developments. He said the China government should promote “Manhattan Project-style” investment into the country’s own drone industry to tackle the threat.
