Individual Liberty vs. State-Controlled Property

Free Markets, Open Skies And Decentralized Property Rights

Unleashing commercial drones under a command and control regime would mean trading in the Jeffersonian dream of individual liberty for the Maoist nightmare of state-controlled property.

The low-altitude economy is taking off. As this industry grows, it raises crucial questions about decentralized property rights, individual freedom, and the role of government. In the United States and other Western countries, the right to own and control property is a fundamental principle.

The scale of China's low-altitude economy in 2023 was approximately $71 billion, with a growth rate of 34%. This is expected to exceed $140 billion by 2026 and $420 billion by 2030. Companies like AutoFlight and Meituan are already making an impact.
