Santo Domingo – Rosa Ng, president of the Flor para Todos Foundation, has called on Dominican President Luis Abinader to intervene in the reopening of Chinese-owned businesses recently closed by the Ministry of Housing (MIVED). The establishments were shut down due to structural deficiencies, but Ng underscored their critical role in supporting thousands of employees and their families who rely on these businesses for their livelihoods. The appeal was made during the dual celebration of the 76th anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China and the Mid-Autumn Festival in Santo Domingo’s Chinatown. Ng emphasized the severe economic repercussions of the closures on both Chinese entrepreneurs and Dominican workers, urging authorities to devise a “viable solution” to restore operations. She also expressed appreciation for her team, the Fujianese community, and supporting companies like Dulce Hogar and Suplax for their contributions to the event. As a prominent advocate for Dominican-Chinese relations, Ng stressed that reopening these businesses would significantly benefit the most vulnerable segments of society.
