A controversial reversal in aviation safety regulations has sparked debate after authorities lifted a ban on certain aerial devices just months after a light aircraft collided with the Chinese capital’s tallest office tower. The decision follows heightened concerns over airspace security, particularly in densely populated urban areas where skyscrapers and restricted flight zones pose risks. Aviation experts warn that the move could undermine hard-won safety measures, while officials insist the change aligns with broader modernization efforts in air traffic management. The incident remains under investigation, raising questions about whether stricter enforcement—or further restrictions—could have prevented the near-catastrophe.
