There was a really interesting segment on last week's Vergecast ( https://www.theverge.com/2018/1/26/16935908/vergecast-podcas... ) about DJI and how business is different for them being a Chinese electronics company. Specifically, their products are state of the art because they are plugged into the components markets, but they also release new products very frequently because with the lack of intellectual property protections the competition is always right around the corner.
