Low-altitude economy is becoming a new growth point for China's economy.

This is a present continuous tense. On the 7th, the Central and South Regional Administration of Civil Aviation of China issued the world's first unmanned manned aircraft production license. This production license was awarded to Guangzhou Yihang Intelligent Holdings Co., Ltd.

According to the "Opinions on Deepening the Reform of China's Low-altitude Airspace Management" issued by the State Council and the Central Military Commission,"Low-altitude" refers to airspace that is less than 1000 meters vertically away from the ground level directly below and can extend to 4000 meters according to the characteristics and actual needs of different regions. "Low-altitude economy" is an economic concept that relies on low-altitude airspace and is dominated by the general aviation industry. It involves many industries such as low-altitude flight, air tourism, regional passenger transport, navigation services, scientific research and education. It has a strong radiating and driving effect and a relatively long industrial chain. A comprehensive economic form. The low-altitude economy white paper recently released by the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Digital Economy Research Institute (IDEA) shows that by 2025, the comprehensive contribution of low-altitude economy to China's national economy will reach 3 trillion to 5 trillion yuan.

In recent years, decision-making levels have increased the layout of low-altitude economies. In February 2021, the low-altitude economy was included in the "National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network Planning Outline"; last year's Central Economic Work Conference and this year's government work report both regarded the low-altitude economy as a new growth engine and a strategic emerging industry; March 27 On the 27th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other four departments jointly released the "Implementation Plan for the Innovative Application of General Aviation Equipment (2024-2030)."

Low-altitude economy is also becoming a "new track." Taking drones as an example, the scale of China's civil drone industry will exceed 120 billion yuan in 2023, ranking first in the world. New energy aircraft has become an important starting point for China to change lanes and overtake in the low-altitude economic field. The market expects to replicate its success in the field of new energy vehicles.

To replicate the success of new energy vehicles, the core content is condensed into one sentence::The best support is awe of the market and respect for the company. China's new energy vehicles have emerged through complete market competition. The major new and old car-building forces have optimized and integrated scattered knowledge in the market through complete market competition, and have worked hard to achieve China's competitiveness in this industry.

In fact, this is a common paradigm for China's manufacturing/creation to radiate its comparative advantages. For example, the earliest white and black home appliance industries emerged from home appliance giants such as Midea, Haier, and Gree in open and complete market competition; similarly, the electronic communications field also relied on the order of complete market competition to emerge from Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo and other companies.

This is because the open system based on complete market competition allows Chinese entrepreneurs to allocate and integrate scattered knowledge scattered in all corners of the world in a broader market. The completely open market greatly reduces the distortion of non-market barriers on resource prices, reducing the cost of resource allocation in the market; at the same time, the government has no authorization based on the law and fully respects the self-determination and choice of enterprises.

Therefore, whether it is China's economic success since the reform and opening up or China's recent global competitiveness in new energy vehicles and other fields, it is proved with vivid facts that the government's best support is awe of the market, respect for enterprises, create a market competition order in which flowers bloom, and provide public services based on the awareness of preventing public externalities; Obviously, this is the most basic and core guarantee for China to promote the healthy development of new energy aircraft and low-altitude economy.

Of course, cultivating the low-altitude economy into a new growth point for China's economy in the future requires a series of policy changes and support.

Starting from January 1, 2024, the "Interim Regulations on Flight Management of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles" will come into effect to protect the low-altitude economy.

Not only that, recently, the Civil Aviation Administration of China announced that civil aviation will improve the general airport policies, regulations and standards management system this year, support local governments in accelerating the construction of general airports and temporary landing points, and guide and support transport airports to carry out navigation services. Deepen and expand the development of aviation medical rescue, drone logistics, emergency rescue, emerging consumption and other business formats. Support the creation of several low-altitude economic development demonstration zones based on civil unmanned aviation test zones (bases).

At the same time, it should also be noted that low-altitude economic development carries the important mission of orderly developing urban low-altitude resources and gradually arranging people, logistics, etc. from the ground to the ground, which means that security is a necessary prerequisite for promoting commercialization. Because once a serious safety incident occurs, it will cast a shadow over the new thing of low-altitude economy.

In short, the best support for cultivating a low-altitude economy is to respect the market and respect enterprises. Only by awe can we concentrate on letting the market play a decisive role in resource allocation by better playing the role of the government. Only by respecting the self-determination and choices of enterprises can we fully unleash the entrepreneurial spirit in the low-altitude economy.
