citizens are requested to obey the law, establish a sense of responsibility for themselves, their families and society, put an end to all kinds of illegal and irregular flying behaviors of "low, slow and small" aircraft, jointly maintain air order and public safety, and work together to protect the blue sky of the capital.

beijing police will work with relevant departments to continue to severely crack down on illegal activities of "low, slow and small" aircraft, kongming lanterns and hydrogen balloons. beijing police will investigate and punish those who carry out flight activities without approval, as well as units or individuals who illegally produce, sell and set off kongming lanterns. those who violate the criminal law will be held criminally responsible.
