China News မွ-
Fearing Radiation, Chinese Rush to Buy…Table Salt?

Japan’s nuclear crisis is fueling panic in China, where shoppers have spurred
a run on salt in attempt to prevent radiation-related illnesses and to secure
uncontaminated salt sources.

China’s top economic agency, the National Development and Reform Commission,
warned consumers Thursday against hoarding salt, and said it would work with
local authorities to maintain price stability and market supply. Grocery store
shelves have been ransacked over the past several days.

Retuers- Customers flock to buy salt at a supermarket in Lanzhou, Gansu province on Thursday. 

Consumers in cities along the China’s coastline, such as Shanghai and
Guangzhou, and even in inland capital Beijing, began stockpiling table salt
after problems at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear-power complex sparked
concerns that radiation would spread to China by air and sea, possibly
contaminating the land and future food sources.

While iodized table salt does contain healthy, nonradioactive iodine, health
authorities say it doesn’t contain enough to protect the body against damage
from radioactive iodine that may be released during a nuclear event.

Further, only a fraction of China’s salt for consumption comes from the sea,
said Song Zhangjing, a spokesman for industry organization the China Salt
Association. “In China, most salt are from salt mines.”

 China’s salt-buying rush is a sign of widespread fear that Japan’s nuclear
woes will have far-reaching implications beyond the island. News of Fukushima’s
nuclear leaks have stirred up memories of Ukraine’s nuclear accident at
Chernobyl in 1986 and fears that nuclear disaster will not be contained.

 Experts and Japanese officials have said it is highly unlikely Fukushima’s
problems will be as bad as Chernobyl’s, and Chinese officials have said they
don’t expect the radiation in Japan to cause harm in China. On Thursday, the
U.S. Embassy in Beijing distributed a message to American citizens saying:
“Based on information from authoritative sources in the U.S. and throughout the
region, there is currently no evidence to suggest that nuclear events in
Fukushima, Japan will have any health impact on individuals residing in
China.”

 Fears of a salt shortage also spread to Hong Kong, where many supermarkets
ran out of salt early Thursday as nervous shoppers stocked up on supplies. In
several supermarkets in some of Hong Kong’s busiest shopping districts,
supermarket staffers said they didn’t know when new shipments would arrive.

 The government’s top food safety official called the salt run “totally
unfounded.” York Chow, Secretary for Food and Health, said in a statement that
salt supplies won’t be affected by contamination around Japan’s waters because
“the sea water around Japan will be much diluted or washed off after some time,
and he said there’s no reason to take iodine tablets because they’re only used
for people are in close contact with high levels of radiation. Buying salt for
its iodine content is “totally totally unfounded, both scientifically and
medically,” he said.

 Chinese parents have also begun to stock up on Japanese-produced infant
formula, assuming that future supply will be limited or contaminated. Citizens
in Shanghai, about 1,800 kilometers west of Fukushima, have filled their
medicine cabinets with iodine pills. People are also circulating over email a
doctored map that shows Northeast Asia under a pink cloud of radiation seeping
from Japan.

Concerns about transborder radiation are reaching far beyond China, as people
in countries as distant as Singapore and the Philippines struggle to understand
the effects of nuclear disasters.

 Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and South Korea have announced plans to
monitor fresh produce for signs of contagion. Thailand authorities said they are
prepared to test all Japanese goods.

Chinese authorities have been intensifying efforts to reassure citizens that
radiation leaks in Japan pose no imminent threats. The Ministry of Environmental
Protection published on its website Wednesday a chart of radiation in 41 cities
across China, declaring that “radiation levels have not been affected by the
Japanese nuclear power accident.”

 Still, many consumers here are in panic mode. Liu Jia, a 36-year-old office
worker, was afraid after trying unsuccessfully to buy salt at a Beijing grocery
store, where signs that said “No More Salt” hovered above the salt section of
the store.

 “If you don’t move quickly, you won’t be able to buy any clean salt without
radiation,” Ms. Liu said.

 Many shoppers in China are also buying up sea salt instead of typical table
salt out of fear future sources will be depleted and unsafe, according to
China’s state-run Xinhua service.

 Standing next to Ms. Liu was a crowd of others who were also looking to buy
salt. “It’s always safe to do what the majority are doing,” said Michael Zeng, a
21-year-old college student in Beijing.

 A Wal-Mart store in the Yangpu district of Shanghai is considering limits on
salt buys.

Some in China are making light of the fright. Taobao.com, the online
marketplace of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd., is advertising free
salt packets with the purchase of a pair of shoes.

 One person on China’s Sina Weibo, a microblogging site similar to Twitter,
wrote, “I have 2 kilograms of salt in stock, do you want to marry me?”

 CORRECTION: An earlier version of this post incorrectly stated that Liu
Jia works at Citic Securities. Citic Securities says it doesn’t employ anyone
fitting that name and description.
