The state-owned assets supervision and administration commission of (SASAC) of Xingtai, Hebei has filed a complaint against the Party committee and the government of Binzhou county, Shaanxi for not paying a Xingtai SASAC-owned hotel more than 8.5 million yuan ($1.23 million) for more than five years. 

The bill was for extravagant receptions which severely violate the Eight-point Regulation, Xingtai??/span>s SASAC claimed.
