Trumps Tariffs on Chinese ingredients will harm the Chinese Restaurant Ecosystem in America 03/06/2025 by ♭♫ [+-]
Just like the $20 minimum wage hike has harmed the fast food industry in California. The results will be more restaurant closures and more people out of work. Economic policies of both Gavin Newsom and Donald Trump are in collusion of destroying the economy along with Elon Musk.

Matthew Chin, president of the Oriental Food Association, said they are preparing a letter urging Trump’s trade representative, Jamieson Greer, to exempt goods that have no domestic alternatives.

Forming a Dim Sum Club is a fantastic idea for those who always wanted to try dining at a Cantonese Tea House but were too afraid to go alone!

Re: A Glimpse of Spokane Chinatown 03/05/2025 by ♭♫ [+-]
Like Bong Tai, I too had a happy life when I lived in Spokane. I have never ever experienced racism nor discrimination nor the racial divide of apartheid, nor Anti-Chinese hate-filled harassment in professional white-collar Corporate America until after I returned back to San Francisco at the age of 10. Like Bong Tai, the relatives who made me happy in Spokane are also all dead (RIP), I totally understand Bong Tai's life's choice to move back to China: Happiness isn't the same anymore when you have no one left in your life to share it with. Without the people you love in your heart, your happiness eventually fades as it becomes only just a memory. Unfortunately, Bong Tai returned to a tumultuous colonial China in turmoil unaware that China's instability in 1925 was leading up to the advent of the merciless Japanese invasion. I can only imagine that Bong Tai would have regretted his decision moving back to China during this insanely chaotic period of political upheaval and food insecurity when many Taishanese people were scrambling to escape out of China by exploiting every loop hole in foreign immigration policies as did my grandparents who benefited from the underground paper name system.
From newspaper Bong Tai's quote s/b: "Ngo Hue Fan Hong San" is Taishanese for "我去返唐山".

He said he had come to San Francisco when he was only 10 and came to Spokane “a few years after the big fire.” He said his life here had been happy, but at age 70 it was time to return.

Referencing a 2019 survey conducted by the Public Opinion Programme at the University of Hong Kong following the 2 million pro-democracy protestors against extradition to China, Poon talked about how over half of Hong Kong people surveyed identified only as a Hongkonger, without directly identifying with China. Poon shared he personally identifies as only a Hongkonger because, “I think Hong Kong already symbolizes [the mixture of Chinese and Western culture].” He said Hong Kong’s cultural identity is inherently “special” because it is “inclusive.” He elaborated, “It is not like I do not want to associate with China.” He shared his familial connections to China and love of Chinese cultural heritage elements like mooncakes and dragon boats. However, he said being a Hongkonger already implies cultural connections to both China and Western countries, so “I don’t think I have to reemphasize [my Chinese culture].”
