Ming Is Steamed

Just when Ming's string of franchised baozi shops were getting off the ground in China, authorities arbitrarily rule he can't sell steamed buns made with cardboard he finds in alleys. This was going to be big winner. Soften dirty cardboard with caustic soda, mix 60% yummy cardboard with 40% fatty pork and you have cheap filling for steamed buns made with rice flour. Ming suspects authorities in the grip of big American bagel interests muscling in desperate to squeeze Ming's buns. Here in America much worse. You have product like Provenge that is safe and has substantial evidence of efficacy and they still squeeze your buns. Only this time big American Chemo interests are to blame. No one likes competition.
