Can civil servants stay in hotels for their families on business trips?

In view of the different opinions on the scope of civil servants, the Law Committee of the National People's Congress holds that the cadre management system is in the process of reform, and the scope of civil servants needs to adapt to the development of democratic politics and the current cadre management system in China. The provisions of the draft civil service law are in line with the actual situation, and it is suggested to maintain the scope stipulated in the draft. At the same time, it is suggested that the expression of the definition of civil servants should be revised and improved to meet the scope of civil servants that needs to be standardized. Finally, the legislature accepted the proposal. The Civil Servant Law stipulates: "The civil servant mentioned in this Law refers to the staff who perform public duties according to law and are included in the state administrative establishment, and their wages and benefits are borne by the state finance." According to the above provisions, whether it belongs to a civil servant must meet three conditions:

One is to perform official duties according to law: that is, people who engage in official activities according to law do not work for themselves or for private enterprises or organizations. The "law" here is a broad sense of "law", including the constitution, laws, administrative regulations, local regulations and so on. The Constitution determines the leading position of the Chinese Production Party in the national political and social life, with the Chinese Production Party as the ruling party and the democratic parties as the participating parties. Therefore, it is also an act of performing public duties for party organs and their staff to participate in the decision-making and implementation of national political, economic and social affairs in different ways.

Second, it is included in the state administrative establishment: it can't be clearly defined only on the basis of public performance. Some people work in state-owned institutions. They are also engaged in official activities, but they are not in the sequence of state administration, so they cannot be identified as civil servants. It must be a person who is listed in the state administrative establishment sequence and performs public duties. The word "business office" has many uses in practice. In addition to administrative establishment, there are also political and legal establishment, state establishment and organ establishment. The "establishment" here refers to various institutional sequences and personnel managed by the state establishment management organs, and is not limited to the establishment of administrative organs.

Third, the state finance bears wages and benefits: that is, the state provides them with wages, retirement, welfare and other guarantees. Civil servants belong to those who are financially supported by the state, but not all those who are financially supported are civil servants. A large part of financial support personnel, such as teachers in public schools and researchers in scientific research institutes, are not civil servants because they do not have the other two conditions, although their wages and benefits are borne by the state.
