Can seaweed and kelp "enlarge" thyroid nodules?

Whether seaweed and kelp enlarge thyroid nodules depends on whether thyroid function is normal: those with normal function can eat one or two bowls of seaweed soup or sushi in moderation without issue, while those with hyperthyroidism must strictly follow a low-iodine diet, avoiding seaweed, kelp, kombu, and deep-sea fish and shrimp. Those with nodules should have regular ultrasound follow-up; if a nodule grows rapidly within a short period, or if hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or breathing difficulties occur, seek medical attention promptly to assess whether a fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is needed.

Cross-border stock trading | Several Chinese brokerages in Hong Kong restrict mainland IP clients to selling and fund withdrawals only

Since September, several Chinese brokerages in Hong Kong have required existing domestic investors logging in with mainland IPs to only sell, close positions and transfer out funds, and not to buy, open positions or transfer in funds. This involves Guotai Junan International, CSC International, Shenwan Hongyuan Securities (Hong Kong), Soochow Securities International and others. The relevant adjustment stems from the Implementation Plan for the Comprehensive Rectification of Illegal Cross-border Securities, Futures and Fund Business Activities, jointly issued by the Securities and Futures Commission and seven other departments on 22 May, which sets a two-year concentrated rectification period. Several brokerages have stopped accepting new account openings from investors with mainland identities.
