On 27 December last year, the China Times announced that it was about to put up its price. One copy of the newspaper was to go up from NT $ 10 to NT $ 15, a whopping 50 % rise. A few hours later, after an emergency meeting, the United Daily News also announced that it was to follow suit, to the consternation of consumers.
去年十二月二十七日，中國時報宣佈即將漲價，一份日報從十元調到十五元，漲幅高達百分之五十；幾個小時後，聯合報也在召開緊急會議後宣佈跟進，消費者大譁。
