- Description
- While the robust expansion of the UAV industry may be a plus for the Chinese government's strategic economic targets, the booming industry also presents some governance challenges for regulators. China has many legal instruments that are applicable to UAV governance, but they are not necessarily suitable for UAV operations as distinguished from traditional flights. China has not yet developed a nationwide legal instrument specific to UAV regulation, but some local governments have taken the lead in enacting UAV regulations, even though these instruments are only effective at the regional level. All of the existing and forthcoming legal instruments are aimed at addressing public safety issues while fostering a welcoming environment for the UAV industry. The paper concludes that China's governments - central and local - will have to play a win-win game in order to find the best balancing point.
