Abstract
To determine whether government acts constitute force majeure, we should look at two aspects: first, whether government acts fall under objective circumstances that are unforeseeable, unavoidable, and insurmountable; and second, whether government acts do have a substantial impact on the performance of a contract. Only if the above two conditions are met can the government act be considered to be force majeure.
