China: Peking verbietet Drohnen im Stadtgebiet
In Chinas Hauptstadt gelten besonders strenge Regeln für Drohnen. Nach dem Absturz eines Flugzeugs in ein Hochhaus im Juni verschärfen die Behörden die Auflagen nun weiter.
Beijing has tightened regulations on drones in the Chinese capital, effective from November 15th. The city government announced the ban on owning and storing drones within the metropolitan area on Sunday. The regulation justified by the authorities aims to ensure safety within the capital. The rules also apply to tourists visiting the city.
Just a few months ago, Beijing had already prohibited the entry of drones into the city, but owning them was still allowed provided the drone was officially registered and linked to the owner's identity. Beijing is home to the political power center of China's ruling Communist Party, which explains the stricter safety rules in the city.
With a population of over 20 million people, Beijing enforces particularly strict regulations, despite China generally promoting the drone economy. In other major Chinese cities, such as the high-tech metropolis of Shenzhen, residents have been able to receive coffee and meals through drones from selected locations.
