| Noodle Prices Rise, Along With Chinese Tempers |
And you thought rising gas prices were a major problem to the economy?? I give you China's Noodle Wars. Complete with noodle cartels, price gouging, and price fixing!
Then a day after the increase in Anning, The Western Economic Daily broke a major scandal: "The Beef Noodle Price Hike, a Price-Fixing Scheme." The paper documented a coordinated pricing scheme, led by a small group of noodle shop owners, who had made threats against any owners who resisted. In fact, read the article and substitute "gasoline" for "noodles" and it's pretty funny. |

Actually, that makes it much less funny.
