Is the government’s requisition of hotels due to the epidemic considered force majeure?

Legal analysis: Yes, force majeure can be caused by natural causes, or it can be caused by man-made or social factors. The former is like earthquakes, floods, droughts, etc., and the latter is like wars, government bans, strikes, etc. Force majeure is a legal fact.

Legal basis: Article 180 of the "People's Republic of China and Civil Code" If a person is unable to perform civil obligations due to force majeure, he shall not bear civil liability. If the law provides otherwise, such provisions shall prevail. Force majeure is an objective situation that cannot be foreseen, avoided and cannot be overcome.
