The island is also concerned about whether the Taiwan authorities will follow up.

South Korean people hoarding sea salt?!
Guo Zhengliang: It only takes 57 days for the entire sea area to have it
Japan is preparing to discharge Fukushima nuclear wastewater into the sea, causing panic among neighboring Asian countries. South Korean people are worried about eating nuclear food and are hoarding sea salt and seafood.
Former public opinion representative Guo Zhengliang stated on the island's program "Headline Talk" on the 22nd that the price of sea salt in South Korea has increased several times, and Japan has also increased. In the future, buying sea salt depends on the manufacturing date. Sea salt manufactured after August 24th in South Korea may not be available for purchase because people are afraid! Guo Zhengliang bluntly stated that the ocean circulation of nuclear wastewater only takes 57 days, and "the entire Pacific Ocean has it! The East China Sea and South China Sea have it too!"
"Friendship between people and the discharge of nuclear wastewater are two different things. Do not treat people's health as nothing, and any political party should face such an important issue with caution." Chen Chunsheng called on the Democratic Progressive Party authorities to monitor and test fisheries, as well as negotiate with Japanese authorities on compensation arrangements.
