The Chinese government has the possession of drones is prohibited in its capital, Beijing, after some safety incidents, including an accident in which a light aircraft collided with the city’s tallest building.

Here we are not talking about a ban on flying, something common especially in cities and sensitive places, but rather a total ban that includes the possession and possession, or even storage of drones throughout the city area.

The owners of these devices They will have to get rid of them before November 15 of this yearso a large number of people are looking for a way to sell them before it is too late, even in drone company stores.

Although it is a measure that only affects Beijing, and not the billions of citizens in the rest of the Asian country, we must not lose sight of the fact that in the Chinese capital there is nothing more and nothing less than 21.8 million people.

The Chinese government will pay up to €400 to those who sell their drones

In fact, The Chinese government is subsidizing these drone sales with a 30% subsidy, with a maximum of about 400 euros, to all those who sell them before October 31. If you wait until the first weeks of November, the subsidy will be only 15%.

Curiously, the government also allows them to be recycled, with a bonus of about 27 euros, or offering free shipping for buyers outside of Beijing. Many people affected are not happy with the measure, since they consider this ban a “theft.”

There is no doubt that this movement is a hard blow for companies like DJI, the undisputed leader in the drone market and, precisely, native to China.
