The Dominican government orders the shutdown of 24 Chinese companies due to the "danger" they pose to workers.

The Dominican Republic's Ministry of Labor has ordered the immediate suspension of operations at 24 Chinese-owned businesses following a series of nationwide inspections. Authorities cited an imminent danger to the safety and physical integrity of employees as the primary reason for the closures.

These enforcement actions were part of a broader inspection initiative that examined 101 Chinese-owned commercial establishments and plazas. Beyond the immediate safety hazards leading to the closures, officials identified multiple violations of the national Labor Code across the inspected sites.
