Businesses in the heavily Asian city of Monterey Park, Calif., now must post their signs in English as well as in Chinese.
The requirement will help promote economic development and increase public safety, the City Council said in passing the change unanimously. Businesses now must install at least one sign that uses the "modern Latin alphabet," KNBC-TV reports.

The “America Eats” show did a fascinating episode on the creation of the `chop suey’ dish by Chinese immigrants, the heyday of chop suey restaurants in America, and their decline as customers of all ethnicities sought authentic Chinese fare from the many regional cuisines of China.

Notice how the title and the article don't match.
The city is not considering a requirement for English signage.
The city is considering a requirement for Latin-alphabet signage.
In other words, the Chinese store can keep all its signs in Chinese, as long as the words are spelled in both Chinese characters and Latin characters.
Newsmax has a misleading headline.

The
Golden Star restaurant in La Habra, Calif., which has been owned by the same family since 1972, is one of those old-fashioned Chinese restaurants that serves great chop suey.
