China to ban drone sales over security concerns
2026-04-30 18:03:47 / BOTA
China will ban the sale of drones in Beijing and require permits for their use under new rules that will take effect on Friday.
Drones and their key components will be banned from being sold, rented or brought into the Chinese capital. Drone owners will also be required to register their devices with the police.
Drones and flying taxis are part of the so-called "low-altitude economy," a strategic priority for China that is expected to generate more than 2 trillion yuan (about $290 billion) by 2035.
In some Chinese cities, drones are a common sight, being used for food delivery, farming and building cleaning.
Chinese companies may dominate the global drone market, but it is becoming one of the most difficult countries to use them.
Drones must be registered before they can be brought in or out of Beijing. If users send their drones for repair outside the city, they must pick up the equipment themselves and cannot have it delivered.
All drone flights in open spaces in Beijing will require prior approval, and users must attend online training and pass a test on drone regulations.
There are also exceptions, drones can be purchased and stored for purposes such as counter-terrorism and disaster relief, if approved by the authorities.
However, in recent years China has continuously tightened regulations on the use of drones.
Beijing's drone restrictions were approved in March. At the time, city authorities said drone management needed to be strengthened to address safety "challenges" in low-lying airspace.
Xiong Jinghua, a senior official at the Beijing Municipal People's Congress, said the goal is to "achieve the best balance" between security and technological and economic progress.
Last year, all of Beijing's airspace was declared a drone-free zone, requiring approval from air traffic authorities for any flight.
China is home to major drone companies, including DJI, the world's largest manufacturer. With new restrictions looming, DJI stores in Beijing have reportedly begun removing drones and related products from shelves.
