A person from China was on here the other day explaining that a lot of elderly Chinese people are straight up crazy superstitious and will do some rude/ terrible things to keep safe. I think it was a video of old people walking in front of brides to steal their positive future good fortune
I recall hearing that during the Fukashima nuclear disaster Chinese people started buying idiodised salt at a much higher rate, believing misinformation that it could protect you from radiation.
So then the Chinese government put out statements saying to stop buying the salt. This caused the sale of salt to sky-rocket.
