China Matters' Feature: Low-Altitude Economy -- A New Industry Reshaping Global Transportation

With the emergence of such companies as DJI drone, China accounts for over 70% of global civilian drone sales. EHang, a Guangzhou-based tech pioneer, has become the world's first company to secure full aviation certifications for its passenger-carrying flying vehicles. The market value of China's low-altitude economy skyrocketed to over $70 billion in 2023, achieving an impressive annual growth rate of 33.8%.
