BANGKOK (AP) — China says it will prohibit the export of all unregulated civilian drones that can be used for military purposes or in terrorist activities and that certain drone features will be restricted as the East Asian country faces repeated Western criticism for its stance on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The Ministry of Commerce said Wednesday in a statement the decision was made to also prevent the use of drones in “the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction,” adding that aspects such as infrared imaging equipment lasers for target indication and high-precision inertial measurement equipment will be placed on an export control list.
Meanwhile, the ministry announced it was also removing temporary restrictions placed on civilian drones. It didn’t specify which type, but last year Beijing restricted the exports of long-range drones while citing Russia’s war in Ukraine.
The latest regulations will come into effect on September 1.
That sounds kind of vague. Please leave my cheap flight controllers alone.
China: “We do not support the terrorist regime in Ukraine and will allow Russia to use drones in order to stop this terrorism.”

They always do, don’t they
Wouldn’t you?
Just like China to impose big government regulations on our 2nd Amendment liberties
You could always ask Boeing to make them
100x the price and they blow up on the launch pad?
No thank you.
