China’s top copper producer halts output


SHANGHAI: Jiangxi Copper Co, China’s largest producer, is halting all output in the province after the local government ordered the curbs to reduce pollution, a company official said.

The smelter received the order on Monday evening to stop production for at least a week before a further assessment based on local pollution levels, the official said, asking not to be identified because of company rules.
