Cut cake

[1] It is a traditional snack of the Uyghur ethnic group in Xinjiang Hotan.

[1] In December 2012, the "Sky-high Price Cut Cake Incident" in Yueyang resulted from a local government post on Sina Weibo, describing the government's response to a public brawl involving cut cake peddlers and locals.

On 3 December 2012 the Yueyang Public Security Bureau posted a report on Sina Weibo about a brawl involving locals and Uyghur peddlers which ended with two people injured and the destruction of peddlers' product.

The post said that one local villager was detained, while the Uyghur peddlers were reimbursed CN¥200,000.

[citation needed] The post resulted in a flood of internet commentary resentful of the favouritism shown to minority groups, exemplified by what was considered the exorbitant reimbursement price offered to the peddlers.
