In 2020, the number of registered drones in China reached 517 thousand. In China, all drones whose weight exceeds 250 grams have to register with the relevant authorities. Drones that weigh more than seven kilograms need another special license from the country's aviation regulatory body. In addition to that, the CAAC places restrictions on the areas which allow drone operation as well as height.
