Move over, delivery trucks – the skies above northern China are getting a high-tech makeover! 🚁 The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city cluster just formed a low-altitude economy alliance on Saturday, signing 33 futuristic projects worth billions. Think drone shows that’d put Coachella to shame, sci-fi-ready battery factories, and even planned air routes for flying vehicles. 🛸
At the Tianjin launch event, officials called this sector a \\"new engine\\" for China's economy. Baodi District head Guo Kangwei teased plans to merge tech innovation with industrial growth, declaring: \\"This isn’t just about drones – it’s about rewriting the rules of transportation and logistics.\\" 💡
So what’s the \\"low-altitude economy\\"? Imagine everything from aerial deliveries to air taxis buzzing below 1,000 meters – a space China aims to grow into a $278 billion industry by 2030. With the govt backing it as a \\"new productive force,\\" this sky-high ambition could soon touch down globally. 🌍
P.S. The 2023 sector already hit $70 billion. Time to look up – literally! 🔋✨
