On the morning of March 2, True North Company turned off the range hood of Tongshunju. When Tom Simon, a public relations officer of the Chinese community, took the old Sichuan key and went up to the roof to turn on the fan, he actually found True North's lawyer personally guarding the range hood on the roof. After True North failed to steal the key, they actually called the police station and asked the police to arrest Tom. After the police arrived, they said that this was a public square with two restaurants, and anyone could freely enter and exit the public area. According to the law, it was impossible for them to arrest Tom. They also told Zhenbei that they had been told that if there was no Eviction Order from the court, Zhenbei could not lock the door as long as there was someone in Tongshunju, otherwise it would be a violation of the law. Zhenbei called the police three times in total, and all the police had the same attitude. True North Company called the fire station again in the afternoon, claiming that Tongshunju did not have a smoking system and could not operate, and asked the fire station to provide written certification to close Tongshunju. Tongshunju's manager called the lawyer. After negotiation, the fire department made it clear that Tongshunju had not committed any foul play when they came, and they could not express any opinions. The fire department suggested that Tongshunju should consider other methods to continue business as soon as possible when there is no exhaust system. It also recommended that lawyers obtain relevant rights protection documents from the court as soon as possible next week. Boss Zhao from Old Sichuan is very supportive of Tongshunju and decided to jointly provide catering services this weekend, including providing hot pot meals and arranging buffets as soon as possible. For customers who order meals, Old Sichuan can help Tongshunju cook the dishes and deliver them to Tongshunju. On March 2, True North also cut off Tongshunju’s phone lines for the fourth time. At the same time, they threatened that they would remove all the ducts of Tongshunju’s public smoking system tomorrow in an attempt to permanently shut down Tongshunju. True North's lawyers and second-in-command were directly involved in today's behavior. I really can't believe that in the United States, a social system that values democracy and civilization, we can see such vicious behavior similar to the mafia.
Tongshunju is a currently operating Chinese restaurant leased in the Chinese Cultural Center. They have the right to renew the 5-year contract to continue leasing the Chinese Cultural Center. We are currently in a legal battle with the new owner, True North Company, over the lease. In order to force Tongshunju out, the new owner has no moral bottom line and resorts to all kinds of tricks.
On February 1, the appeal law’s judgment on the old Sichuan case gave the cultural center protection for a period of time. However, the permit issued by the city government to replace the tiles is still a sword hanging over the cultural center. The evidence showed the city failed to implement normal procedures and regulations when issuing permits. For this reason, Old Sichuan recently took the Phoenix City Government to court. In order to protect their rights and interests, Tongshunju also recently took TN to court. The business of Laosichuan and Tongshunju has dropped significantly in the past six months, and sometimes they even operate at a discount. Faced with this situation, the Overseas Chinese Federation and many friends who support the protection of the cultural center jointly established Citizen Voice to help provide all-round support to other businesses in Old Sichuan and the cultural center. Use everyone’s efforts to protect Chinese businesses and jointly protect the cultural center. The recently established Citizen Voice is a non-profit organization. Everyone is invited to actively participate, and every drop of water can become a river, and use actions to protect the cultural center. Make tax-deductible donations to Citizen Voice or CUAGP. Please send a donation check to Citizen Voice 3116 S Mill Ave. #188 Tempe AZ 85282. If you want to transfer directly, please send a private message to Zheng Shiqi or Yang Ping.
