Is it illegal to eavesdrop on others in a hotel?

Legal analysis: It is illegal to eavesdrop on other people's privacy, but if it is just eavesdropping on privacy, it generally does not constitute a crime, so it is not an illegal act. Eavesdropping, if it is just eavesdropping, is a moral category and is not a crime. If the content of eavesdropping is disseminated, it falls within the scope of public security penalties. If the dissemination reaches a certain scale and even causes serious consequences, it becomes an infringement and crime.

Legal basis: Article 42 of the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China" Whoever commits any of the following acts shall be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than 500 yuan; if the circumstances are more serious, , shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days, and may also be fined not more than five hundred yuan: (1) Those who write threatening letters or use other methods to threaten the personal safety of others; (2) Those who openly insult others or fabricate facts to slander others; ( 3) Fabricating facts and making false accusations to frame others in an attempt to subject others to criminal prosecution or public security penalties; (4) Threatening, insulting, beating or retaliating against witnesses and their close relatives; (5) Repeatedly sending obscene, insulting messages , threats or other information that interferes with the normal life of others; (6) Peeping, filming, eavesdropping, or spreading other people's privacy.
