China Catches Smugglers Using Drones to Transport $80M Worth of iPhones From Hong Kong to Mainland - Mac Rumors: According to a news conference held by the customs officers, this marks "the first case found in China that drones were being used in cross-border smuggling crimes."
Shenzhen customs was quoted by the Legal Daily as saying it would closely monitor new types of smuggling with high-tech devices and enhance their capability with technical equipment, including drones and high-resolution monitors, to detect smuggling activity.
Drone regulations are said to be "an important task" for Chinese officials, with the government publishing a series of strict rules in 2017 after drones were found to be interfering with aircraft flight paths. Civilian drone owners are now required to register any drone "up to a certain weight" using their real names.
