(euromaidanpress.com)
I'm surprised they don't just want to profit on both sides.

They do. This is either total BS, or a back channel deal with the US in exchange for something.
Who are they restricting them to? If they are restricting the sale to NATO countries or Ukraine, that is a completely different story than if they are restricting them to Russia.
Sounds like a blanket restriction
"China's modest expansion of the scope of its drone control this time is an important measure to demonstrate our stance as a responsible major country, to implement global security initiatives, and maintain world peace,"
If that is indeed a blanket restriction, DJI and a whole bunch of other drone companies are either going to collapse or offshore ASAP.
Or they just officially restrict all drone sales. Because their support for Russia isn't official anyway.
