China Daily reports China’s top economic planner has established a department to support the development of the burgeoning low-altitude economy.
“The new department, under the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), is responsible for formulating and organizing the implementation of strategic as well as mid-term and long-term development plans, providing policy recommendations, and coordinating major issues related to the low-altitude economy, according to the NDRC,” says the report.
“The department has recently held symposiums on advancing the construction of low-altitude infrastructure and low-altitude intelligent network systems, according to the latest updates on the NDRC website. The move came amid intensified government efforts to tap the low-altitude economy, which refers to the economic activities and industries centered around manned and unmanned aerial vehicles operating in the airspace usually within 1,000 meters above the ground.”
China’s general aviation and low-altitude economy was adopted as a government strategy during the third plenum of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee in July.
