Chinese defence prime China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) has unveiled its backpackable Cai Hong-817 (Rainbow-817, or CH-817) micro-UAV at Airshow...
Not as much as you'd think. Everyone knows that drones are the future for combat but you can't justify huge price tags on them like you can with a jet fighter or warship. So they don't get invested in as much as you'd think. The only drones we take seriously are the big hunter/killer stuff. Everything else is treated like a toy.
Its hard to guage the disparity in drone tech between the US and China militaries since both will hide their tech but overstate what they do show. To get a solid comparison, look at the commercial market. The top of the line commercial drones are from DJI a Chinese company. Professionals will tell you everything else is just a hobbiests toy.
Commoners having autonomous drones is sort of a stretch. A cheap FPV drone that gets piloted to suicide ram another is more reasonable, assuming the target doesn't evade. If the target can evade then even an autonomous one would be hard.
Jamming their radios seems to be the way forward. Cheaper consumer models can be jammed with simple WiFi attack. Military grade ones you'll need something like a radio emitter.

we need autonomous anti-drone drones at protests. like the modern equivalent of using hawks to kill carrier pigeons.

instead of ramming, stick a net gun on it
We have to create our own battle drones to destroy the government drones. This will be the robot war
