Chinese Authorities Halt Consumer Drone Sales In Beijing
Beijing is banning the sale of drones within city limits starting this Friday. Chinese authorities have prohibited the sale and use of civilian drones within Beijing. The municipality cited security reasons for the ban. Violators face fines for non-compliance. The ban affects residents' leisure activities in popular locations. Authorities typically contact purchasers on the same day of purchase to inquire about the reasons for the acquisition. The ban affects popular weekend activities, including drone use at the Great Wall of China located within the Beijing municipality. The measure, effective as of Friday morning, has resulted in the removal of all drone products from electronics retailers in the Saint-Litoun district. Major electronics retailers in the Saint-Liutun district have removed all drone products from their shelves following the decision.
