Beijing Plans Citywide Drone Ownership Ban — 5hBeijing is expanding its drone crackdown: from November 15 it will ban possession, storage, and entry of drones and core components within the entire city, with limited exceptions for counter-terrorism, disaster relief, major events, and certain sectors, while authorities may confiscate violators and offer subsidies for buybacks or scrapping existing drones. This builds on prior measures that banned flights, imports, and require real-name registrations, and the city has prepared disposal channels and subsidies to help current owners comply before the rollout.
