BEIJING - China’s biggest salt producer urged people against panic buying after Japan began discharging treated...
from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant on Thursday, despite opposition from Beijing.
The state-run National Salt Industry Group, the world’s biggest common salt producer, said in a statement issued hours later that it is ramping up supplies as people in some parts of China rushed to stock up. Salt shelves were emptied in supermarkets and sold out in online platforms in some places, including Beijing and Shanghai., saying the Japanese government had not proved that the water discharged would be safe. It has banned the import of all aquatic products from Japan.
“We are working overtime to produce, distribute and making all efforts to guarantee market supply,” the National Salt Industry Group said.
