China's Battle Against Historic Rains: Flood Rescue Efforts Intensify South of Beijing

China has deployed thousands of rescue workers to Zhuozhou, a flooded city in Hebei province, following historic rains caused by the remnants of Typhoon Doksuri. The city, which borders Beijing, has been severely affected, with over 134,000 residents impacted and one-sixth of the population evacuated. Floodwaters have caused water shortages, power outages, and damaged agricultural land. Rescue efforts have been slow, leading to complaints from residents. The floods have also affected warehouses and logistics hubs in the area. Meanwhile, in Japan, a typhoon has struck Okinawa prefecture, with concerns it may head towards Kyushu.
