Drones and UAV technology

Unmanned aircraft: flight rules, airworthiness, industrial support, export controls and countermeasures.

Summary

Drones and unmanned aircraft: flight rules, airworthiness, industrial support, and the export controls and countermeasures that apply to them.

China's stance

Drones are both a growth industry and a controlled dual-use item. Since 2024 a national regulation governs who may fly what and where, with real-name registration and electronic identification. Exports of drone components and certain drones need licences (2023), revised in 2024; the 2025 unreliable-entity listing of counter-drone firms shows the sector inside China's trade countermeasures. Industrial support runs through the low-altitude economy.
