Latest | Court warns True North Companies lawyer's behavior of brutally driving away Chinese companies from the Cultural Center is a crime March 13th…

Local families

On March 13th, in the Maricupa County Court, after four hours of debate, Tongshunju, a Chinese restaurant leased and operated by the Chinese Cultural Center in Phoenix, went through more than ten days of power outages, water cuts, phone calls, internet disconnections, and range hood sealing. After True North Companies was almost rogue and forced to stop normal business, the court finally gave Tongshunju justice. The judge ordered the "Zhenbei" company in court to restore power, telephone and Internet services, and prohibited it from rudely evicting co-shunju. True North Companies really did a great job after buying the Chinese Cultural Center.

The judge told the lawyer of "Zhenbei" company that he could not believe what he heard about what "Zhenbei" company did to Tong Shunju in a restaurant. If this was true, they were not abominable, but criminal. Moreover, the judge also said to the lawyers of the "Zhenbei" company that if their actions were your suggestions, then they really crossed the line. Implicitly, the lawyer's qualifications will be affected. This emergency hearing is just the beginning. Tongshunju can operate normally there, and the normal operation of water and electricity is guaranteed by law. If the company "really betrays" the company again, it will be severely punished by the court. On April 16, the jury hearing will continue. The boss of Zhenbei Company and Tongshunju will face Bo in court again. At that time, we hope that as many Chinese friends as possible will participate and come to the scene to support.

True North Companies owns Realty Executives, Passport Hearth, and Pump It Up. The company is run by David Tedesco. It is said to be a large enterprise with nearly a thousand employees, or even a company involved in children's education and entertainment, real estate and other enterprises. What kind of activities does it do to a Chinese restaurant? Let’s take a look at the real record brought by the organizing committee to save the Chinese Cultural Center in Phoenix.

History has recorded the hooliganism of True North Company:

On March 2, we turned off the exhaust fan, cut off the phone lines, called the fire brigade to water the restaurant, called the police to arrest our spokesperson, and used the trick to break into the restaurant and lock the door;

March 6 We went to the electric power company and changed Tongshunju’s account name to Zhenbei;

On March 9, Tongshunju was not allowed to unload the goods, and the security manager once again tried to break into the hotel and forcibly prevented us from turning on the exhaust fan;

On March 12th, we notified the power company to cut off the power.

On March 13, the power was cut off at 7 a.m. and the meter was locked.

Facing the various perverse actions of True North Company. With the strong support of the vast number of overseas Chinese, Tongshunju Hall united in fighting and faced tit-for-tat, smashing True North’s plots one after another and achieving staged victories. Please see the record of the battle to defend Tongshunju on March 2.

A battle without shooting, but full of smoke, started at Tongshunju Restaurant on March 2!

As we all know, the contract renewal case of Tongshunju has entered the legal process, and who is who is waiting for the court's decision. However, several leading figures of True North 668 Company went against the norm and went shirtless. They couldn't wait to take down the billboard of Tongshunju Restaurant, cut off the phone lines four times, turned off the exhaust fan, and called the police twice to arrest our spokesperson Tom on inexplicable charges. They also called the fire brigade and demanded that Tongshunju Restaurant be closed for operating without an exhaust fan. They tried to lure the tiger away from the mountain, leaving no one in the restaurant and forcing the door to be locked. He is really heartbroken and shouting to catch the thief! They also lied to the police about having a deportation order, but could not produce the documents. Their embarrassment was self-evident. Even though they were so embarrassed that they were all red-faced and red-faced with anger, it was of no use and they had to reap the consequences! Their contempt for the law and their contempt for the courts have been fully exposed. Just as they roared extremely arrogantly: "We are an international company with a lot of money, and we will use our money to kill you!" Their premeditated and hysterical perverse actions were naturally rejected by the police, and all their elaborate mechanisms were thwarted by our courageous momentum, stern stance and high level of wisdom. Afterwards, I thought carefully about this farce that they wrote, directed, and had no skills at all, and I felt their gaffe and abnormality. It seems that the edge of our struggle has hit their vital point. They were contacted to request that the appeal be expedited, which showed that they could no longer bear the heavy blow brought to them by multiple restraining orders. I would like to warn True North Company that they will never succeed if they try to suppress our ethnic minorities by bullying, threatening, forcibly demolishing and other means!

However, the scenery here is unique and the momentum is high! Immediately after this bizarre incident occurred, we reported the truth of the incident to various WeChat groups in a timely and detailed manner. It aroused the close attention of the majority of netizens; in this first moment, the local Chinese exclusive TV station started work; in this first moment, many friends rushed to the scene quickly and stood at the forefront of the struggle without hesitation; in this first moment, our comrades reported the truth of this incident to the whole society; in this first moment, we informed the local media of the situation; in this first moment, many people signed up to protect the Tongshunju restaurant all night long! Yes, in this first moment, what we did was very touching! I really saw our firm determination and strong will to protect China Cultural City; our unity as one, the powerful force that can cut through gold; our noble character of selfless dedication and fearless fighting spirit! I really feel that we can preserve the foundation of the Cultural City! I couldn't help but write a few jingles for the night watchers: "There is no need to worry when the storm is coming. In times of crisis, one can show one's grace. The heroic spirit of sacrificing oneself is there, and the golden tiles are shining like a phoenix."

That day, around ten o'clock in the evening, we still vividly remember the scene when we reported the incident to five police officers. On one side, nearly 30 of us city guards gathered tightly together to report to the police. On the other side, the three leading figures of True North 668 Company were whispering in a dark place more than 20 meters away from us. Our strong lineup and strong popularity form a sharp contrast with the sneaky and lonely three people. This is a true portrayal of justice defeating evil!

What is particularly worth mentioning is that in the face of the suppression by True North 668 Company, we Chinese people with experience in politics raised the possibility of winning the lawsuit through personal experience. The three cobblers supported Zhuge Liang, and a plan to sue was hatched. It was too late to say, but it was soon, all parties contacted the court and stayed up all night to write the complaint. Our unsung heroes are dedicated as always! We salute them! In this struggle, we have seen the role of Chinese people with experience in political participation at critical moments. We really need more Chinese people to take to the political stage. I feel a little regretful when I think that the fight to protect the Phoenix Cultural City was started by overseas Chinese leaders, but it was us grassroots people who added fuel to the fire. What an inspiring situation it would be if many overseas Chinese leaders and delegations could always stand on the front line like before! We hope that our overseas Chinese leaders will not forget their original aspirations and continue to do so!

Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, justice defeated evil, and the battle to defend Tongshunju Restaurant has achieved a staged victory. I pay tribute to all the comrades who participated in the battle to defend Tongshunju Restaurant!

On March 5, the local court issued a restraining order against Zhenbei Company and COFCO Property Management Company for their despicable behavior towards Tongshunju to protect the safety of Tongshunju’s boss and employees. At the same time, when police officers from the city fire brigade received a second false fire report from Zhenbei Company and COFCO Property Management Company in an attempt to use high-pressure water cannons to harm Tongshunju’s normal business, they also warned them not to abuse firefighting resources to harm Tongshunju and cause losses to municipal expenses.

However, Zhenbei Company persisted in its rogue behavior and even dared to illegally remove the account name of Tongshunju Restaurant and cut off the power supply. It was noon, the restaurant was open, some customers were dining, some were in the bathroom, and the master chef was cutting vegetables. Danger and accidents were imminent!

At this moment, the danger of power outage at Tongshunju Restaurant spread throughout the WeChat group! Immediately, the generator was delivered, and support friends arrived. Immediately, I contacted the electric company, the master worker of the electric company, the office of county attorney Bill Montgomery, and the media. Immediately, the WeChat group exploded, filled with attention, support, condemnation, and suggestions from netizens. After more than 3 hours, the power was restored! The staff of Tongshunju Restaurant and the vast number of overseas Chinese worked together to win again!

The battle to defend Tongshunju Restaurant is far from over, and a tortuous and cruel struggle is still to come. We appeal to the 50,000 compatriots in the greater Phoenix area to pay close attention to the development of the situation, extend your helping hand, contribute money and efforts, and help our compatriots who are suffering! The Chinese Cultural Center in Phoenix has been protected to this day because of a group of Chinese people who have never abandoned it and have been fighting to protect the Chinese Cultural Center! Everyone has the responsibility to protect and inherit Chinese culture, and we welcome you to join us.

Thank you, our flesh and blood compatriots, our brothers and sisters with the same roots and ancestors! (Thanks to Hu Changming for the record)
