correct person credited, new enough, lerge and referenced sufficiently. QPQ performed. Hook is referenced and seems to be confirmed but I need a bit of AGF to be sure. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:51, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

@Graeme Bartlett: If you want a few direct quotes from the cited references to be sure:

Source: 中国盐业总公司创立于1950年，为国务院国资委管理的国有大型企业 ... 中国盐业总公司持有中国盐业股份92.4746%的股份
Translation: China National Salt Industry Corporation was founded in 1950, and is a large state-owned enterprise managed by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (a sub-entity of the State Council of the People's Republic of China) ... China National Salt Industry Corporation controls 92.4746% of the Chinese salt industry's market shares.
Source: 国家对食盐的生产、分配调拨均实行指令性计划管理，使制盐企业虽为生产者却被排除在诸如“生产多少”、“如何销售”等经济问题之外。制盐企业自身无权决定，由市场主体变成生产车间 ... 中盐公司是专营唯一的受益者 ... 中盐公司因握有食盐生产指标而决定着制盐企业的命运 ... 中盐公司是盐业经营单位，又是行政主管部门 ... 作为行政管理部门，它应当从全局出发，打造公平的竞争环境；但作为企业，它自身有要追求所谓利润最大化的企业目标 ... 制盐企业按中盐公司的计划指标生产碘盐
Translation: The country's direct control of salt production and distribution has led salt producers to ignore economic questions such as "how much to produce" and "how to sell". Salt producers themselves have no decision-making powers, and are merely workshops for the overall salt market ... China National Salt Industry Corporation is the sole beneficiary in this monopoly ... China National Salt Industry Corporation decides the fate of the salt industry as a whole through its control of salt production standards ... China National Salt Industry Corporation serves as both the operating company and department responsible for administrative policy ... As a policy department, it should consider the greater good of the industry, promoting an equal competitive environment. But as a corporation, it itself has the company objective to pursue the maximization of profit ... Salt producers produce iodized salt in accordance with China National Salt Industry Corporation planned figures.
