London – It began with suspicious looks on the street. Then visits by shoppers and diners dwindled. Now, a year since the coronavirus spread globally, many small business owners in Chinatowns around the world are shutting up shop.
On the eve of Lunar New Year traditionally her busiest trading season, Joanne Kwong was planning to close down Pearl River Mart’s flagship store in New York’s Chinatown half a century since it was established by her Taiwanese in-laws.
“The revenue isn’t matching all of the costs we have to pay for and that have been piling up over the last 13 months,” Kwong said.

LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - It began with suspicious looks on the street. Then visits by shoppers and diners dwindled. Now, a year since the coronavirus spread globally, many small business owners in Chinatowns around the world are shutting up shop.
On the eve of Lunar New Year - traditionally her busiest trading season, Joanne Kwong is planning to close down Pearl River Mart’s flagship store in New York’s Chinatown half a century since it was established by her Taiwanese in-laws.
“The revenue isn’t matching all of the costs we have to pay for and that have been piling up over the last 13 months,” Kwong said.
New York s Chinatown pulls together to brighten the Covid darkness Diana Hubbell
Last spring, Patrick Mock, the manager of 46 Mott Bakery, stepped out of his shop and into darkness. Mott Street, in the middle of Manhattan’s Chinatown, would normally have been bustling: from the bars on Doyers Street to restaurants such as Wo Hop, a Cantonese stalwart opened in 1938. However, racism towards Asian Americans – driven by unfounded coronavirus fears – had devastated local businesses. Even the normally raucous Lunar New Year celebrations had seen less than half the usual crowds.
“By January [2020], we’d already lost 60% to 70% of our business, whereas if you went across the street to Little Italy, they were still busy and booming,” says Mock. “The Lunar New Year is normally our busiest time, but because of xenophobia and racism, we lost all that. The month after was the shutdown. It was hit after hit.”
