Heavy rainfall and flooding have caused severe damage in southern China, causing landslides and making roads impassable. Chinese state television reported on Monday that the province of Guangxi in southern China is expecting total economic damage of around 329 million yuan ($45 million), for example, due to destroyed farmland or collapsed houses.
Meanwhile, authorities in several provinces warned of flooding. In the region around Meizhou in Guangdong province, east of Guangxi, nearly 1,381,000 households lost power.
