China Announces New Drone Export Restrictions Effective September Amid Criticism
Jul 31, 2024, 11:15 AM
China has announced new restrictions on the export of drones and related equipment, effective from September. The Ministry of Commerce stated that the measures are intended to prevent the use of drones in mass destruction, terrorism, and other non-peaceful purposes. The restrictions will apply to both military and civilian drones, including those not previously covered by export control measures. China will also punish drone exporters who violate these restrictions. This move comes amid growing criticism from the US and its allies, who accuse China of supporting Russia's military efforts in Ukraine. The new regulations are part of China's broader strategy to safeguard national security and maintain its competitive edge in drone technology.
