According to a post by the Xishuangbanna police, a hotel in Jiangbei Sub-district, Jinghong City, southwestern China's Yunnan Province, received the fine on April 2 this year.

In June 2024, the police found that the hotel was not registering guests properly and they informed the person in charge of the hotel that they should register guests properly or the hotel would be slapped with an "anti-terrorism fine."

However, in March of this year, the police found that the hotel was still not registering guests as required by the regulations.

Citing the second paragraph of Article 86 of the Anti-Terrorism Law of the People's Republic of China, the police imposed a fine of 100,000 yuan on the hotel involved.

In other news, the police in Maqin, northwestern China's Qinghai Province, also announced that they have issued the first "anti-terrorism fine" in 2025 to a gas station in Dawu Town.

The station was fined 20,000 yuan, and the operator, Mr. Han was personally fined 1,000 yuan. Why?

According to the report, the Anti-Terrorism Office of Maqin County found that the gas station did not carry out a staff background review and did not have a standard work ledger as required by authorities.

A further investigation revealed that the staff ignored the safety precautions and sold gas in bulk twice, violating the law. Furthermore, this was the second time that the staff were found to sell gas in bulk.

On January 14 this year, the gas station and the owner were fined 20,000 yuan and 1,000 yuan, respectively.
