China's Deadly Flooding: Rescues and Evacuations Intensify

Deadly flooding in China continues to worsen as thousands of people are evacuated in the northeast and areas around Beijing grapple with the aftermath of destructive floods. The flooding has caused widespread damage, including road destruction, power outages, and submerged neighborhoods. At least 22 people have been killed, and the region is experiencing its heaviest flooding in decades. China is facing a dual challenge of record-breaking rains in some areas and scorching heat and drought in others. The government has mobilized relief efforts, but social media criticism has emerged regarding the diversion of floodwaters away from Beijing.
