The text describes regulations against exam cheating in China, including a prison sentence and the use of drones to monitor exams and block phone signals.

The claims surrounding exam cheating and surveillance in China have varying levels of verification.

The use of drones to monitor exams is also supported by evidence showing their deployment to detect cheating. However, the specific capability of drones to block phone signals lacks direct evidence; rather, general information about signal jamming technologies is available, not necessarily confirming the implementation during exams.
