Red guy and Blue guy sitting at an empty lemonade stand.
Red guy: “maybe we should have a sale?”
Blue guy: “But we can’t go any cheaper!” while pointing to the “$1” price tag on the sign above him.
Red guy, while writing on a board, looks confused and replies: “cheaper?”
Final panel: The lemonade stand is rushed by hundreds of customers throwing cash and scrambling for lemonade, a fire breaks out, it’s chaos. In the foreground the sign Red was writing reads: “WAS $25, NOW ONLY $1”

Because it is illegal in the US and Europe, but you can go on AliExpress for example and find this practice everywhere
Edit: thought you were the original commenter. Realise you aren’t, this isn’t directed at you.
Is it illegal federally in the US? I keep seeing commenters say it isn’t. And if I’ve read things correctly, I’m pretty sure it is illegal in China, and in 2020 they further clamped down on it.
Not saying it doesn’t still happen because shitty people exist everywhere, including China.
It’s just your comment comes across as kinda racist because you’ve dubbed it as a specifically “Chinese” thing, even though it’s pretty widespread in many places.
