From the Chinese press

Ridiculous act of a restaurant

During his recent trip to China, British Prime Minister David Cameron visited a restaurant in Chengdu, Sichuan province, to taste some of its dishes. Now the restaurant is trying to capitalize on his visit to make some quick bucks; it is even "offering" a set meal of all the items that Cameron had for 888 yuan ($146.26). The practice of restaurants, or other outlets, using a VIP's visit to boost their sales is nothing new, but it seems the Chengdu restaurant has crossed the ethical line this time, says an article in Beijing Morning Post. Excerpts:

According to media reports, the British prime minister and his entourage spent a total of 877 yuan for the hotpot dinner, which was not at all expensive compared with the huge amounts that rich people and some government officials pay for lavish dinners nowadays. But spending even 877 yuan on a dinner is beyond the imagination of many people in China, because that would be almost half of their monthly salary.
