Customers in Manhattan were surprised when they went to their favorite Chinese restaurant and realized the owners had closed it.

Permanently.

The owners, Dorothea and Felix Wu, posted a note to alert their loyal customers:

The note posted on the door, according to IJR, reads:

“China Fun has closed after 25 years in business. We want to thank all of our loyal customers who have been with us — whether for a day or for generations. It has been a great run serving you our delicious soup dumplings, scallion pancakes and General T’sao Chicken, but the climate for small businesses like ours in New York have become such that it’s difficult to justify taking risks and running — nevermind starting — a legitimate ‘mom-and-pop’ business.

The state and municipal governments, with their punishing rules and regulations, seem to believe that we should be their cash machine to pay for all that ails us in society, even though we suffer just like everyone else from an economy in flux.

Our only wish for 2017 and beyond is for our career lawmakers and politicians, local and national alike, to take a mandatory ‘Undercover Boss’ challenge and live in the shoes of a small business owner for a week. Maybe then they will better understand the economically stifling environment they have created, and, dare we say, change their ways for the betterment of everyone, and not just pander to the populace that garner the most votes?

Happy New Year Everyone!”

The owners’ son, Albert, gave an interview to the New York Daily News that further explained the onerous demands:

“The climate for small businesses like ours in New York have become such that it’s difficult to justify taking risks and running — nevermind starting — a legitimate mom-and-pop business,” read a letter posted by the owners in the restaurant’s front door.

“The state and municipal governments, with their punishing rules and regulations, seems to believe that we should be their cash machine to pay for all that ails us in society.”

He spoke of all of the demands small businesses are required to fulfill, including “to provide an on-site break room for workers despite its limited space,” minimum wage increases, and issues with health insurance and insurance.

“In a one-restaurant operation like ours, you’re spending more time on paperwork than you are trying to run your business,” he said.

It’s time politicians realize the cost their ridiculous demands have on actual people trying to make a living in this nation.
