XIAMEN, Fujian - Red jumbu, a tropical fruit from Taiwan, sells for about 100 yuan ($15.25) a kilogram at a supermarket in Xiamen, a mainland city situated beside the Taiwan Straits. During most of the year, the price may strike many shoppers as being too high. But China's traditional Spring Festival makes for a special case.
