Extended data:

Understanding of "violation of state regulations" in the crime of illegal business operation;

At the first level, if an act does not violate the state regulations, but only violates local laws and departmental rules lower than the state regulations, it certainly does not constitute the crime of illegal business operation;

On the second level, if an act violates the state regulations, but the state regulations do not stipulate that the act constitutes a crime ... criminal responsibility should be investigated. Criminal judicial interpretation does not explain the act as an act of illegal business operation, and of course it does not constitute an illegal business operation crime.

At the third level, if an act violates state regulations and the state stipulates that the act constitutes a crime, it should be investigated for criminal responsibility, but the criminal judicial interpretation does not clearly state that the act is an act of illegal business operation, and certainly does not constitute an illegal business operation crime, such as operating without a license.
