Why USA home security and military can buy and use Chinese made drones?

 If USA home security and military can buy and use Chinese made drones, where is the issue regarding and about National Security? It is all a lie to deny USA civilian usage knowing that any comparison between DJI drones and their own is slapping their own faces. China is not exposing it as those are obviously not the top-notch military drones used by the PLA, but social media vloggers like Kevin Walmsley on 'Inside China Business' is a site well-respected for digging up sources that showed the reality. Because the Western MSM does not talk about it and China is not exposing it, it is assumed that nobody knows about the hypocrisy of the USA Government.

There are reasons outlined by Kevin Walmsley why USA made drones are not reliable for certain purposes. For help and rescue missions involving difficult or higher elevation terrain, USA made drones tend to lose contract up to a certain distance or further up mountainous regions. DJI drones are reported to be more reliable in all terrain and weather conditions, and the most important reason of all is they are much cheaper.

If there is a reason to doubt the superiority of DJI drones, one just has to ask why the Ukrainians are buying DJI civilian drones and modifying them for its military use. Even the Israelis are reported to have no confidence relying on the performance of USA made drones. Expensive and inferior makes all the difference.

Of course, one other reason for the USA banning Chinese drones is to protect its own drone manufacturers, which is the same modus operandi as using tariffs to protect its EV makers that are finding it impossible to compete with BYD.
