China has positioned the low-altitude economy as a cornerstone of its future industrial strategy, with drones serving as the linchpin of this burgeoning sector. Leveraging its early entry into the drone industry, China has secured a dominant global market share, accounting for 70% of commercial drone sales worldwide. This leadership stems from a combination of state-backed technological advancements and cost-effective manufacturing, enabling Chinese firms to outpace international competitors.

The US-China trade war is stuck in a deadlock, with both governments refusing to back down. Beijing’s early defiance—vowing to “fight to the end”—gave way to silence after Washington announced tariff hikes reaching 145%, signaling a tactical recalibration by Chinese authorities.

Aeon Motor has expanded internationally by opening a new manufacturing plant in Vietnam despite rising tariff challenges. The company noted that the 10% tariff applies worldwide, except Chinese vehicles, which face tariffs of up to 145%. This gives Aeon Motor a cost advantage in key markets like North America. Coupled with its vertically integrated ODM model, Aeon Motor offers comprehensive vehicle development and production, boosting its appeal to global clients.
