China floods kill 17 as rescuers search for survivors amid more storms

Severe flooding in southern and central China has resulted in 17 deaths, with rescuers searching for survivors amid ongoing storms. In Guangxi, six fatalities occurred due to torrential rains and flooding from Typhoon Maysak, displacing over 130,000 people. Rivers overflowed, and a reservoir dam burst, causing extensive damage to agricultural land. Residents in Guigang described rising water levels forcing evacuations, though some areas still have significant standing water. Chinese authorities are providing disaster relief, including food and equipment, and maintaining high-level flood control measures. In Hubei, 11 people died from thunderstorms and tornadoes, with additional injuries and property damage. President Xi Jinping urged emergency responders to act decisively. Meanwhile, Super Typhoon Bavi is expected to hit eastern provinces, potentially affecting Zhejiang, Fujian, and Taiwan.
