San Francisco Chinatown Chinese restaurants have been thoroughly investigated and closed, the reason is...

San Francisco is hosting the APEC International Summit, and in order to improve the city's appearance, the San Francisco city government has conducted unannounced inspections of a number of restaurants in Chinatown. Some of those restaurants were temporarily closed for violating health regulations, but San Francisco's Department of Public Health denied the crackdown was linked to APEC and said inspections are conducted twice a year to focus on foodborne illness risk to ensure the health and safety of all San Francisco-Operators and visitors. While the city's inspections are meant to ensure food safety, a crackdown on restaurants would push more businesses out of the market, further deteriorating the business environment in Chinatown.
