Both of those are probably false, or gross exagerations of the actual 
case, as they don't have the authority to close businesses.  At best 
they can fine the Chinese restaurant for not respecting the law, but 
they can't force it to close.

As for the english signs on the microwave oven, I'd be very surprised 
about that, since it's not the fault of the restauranteur, but of the 
microwave maker.
