- Nearly 60,000 people have been evacuated from their homes in China, after days of heavy rain caused flooding in the Guangdong province.
At least three people have died, and 11 people are missing, according to state media.
Several major rivers have burst their banks, and authorities are closely monitoring "dangerously high" water levels.
Much of Guangdong is part of the low-lying Pearl River delta, which is prone to floods due to the rise in sea levels and storm surges. It is also one of the country’s most densely-populated regions, with Guangdong alone home to around 127 million people.

Who told you that these islands belong to Philippines, just because they are close to Philippine? Then Philippine is also close to China, so should it belong to China? And of course Chinese leaders pay attention to people's need, because it is PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC.
No, the Philippines does not belong to China.

@@Bungle-UK ?
At least China will leave you alone for awhile.
Urbanization is causing these floodings. Anyone who has heard about Asian monsoons knows that heavy rain in this season is normal in China. what causes the flooding is the horrible urban planning that leaves no room for rain water to escape.
Water escape to where when river is full? einstein
their dams also make everything worse... the ccp should never had been in power.
Yeah China should follow US, US never experience a flood for a thousand years.
@@tankki1583 They already do. The US also has one of the worst draining systems in the world. People are dumping trash on the streets with no respect for whatever may cause.
The most common type of sewer drain clogging is caused by people dumping trash to the streets that is then taken by rain and clogging everything.
This type of behavior is the same as the Chinese.

Floods in Guangdong but then asks correspondent in Beijing is like saying there's flooding in England so lets go to our correspondence in Greece. The distance between Guangdong and Beijing is 2,000km!
Ever considered that someone *inside China* can have access to the local news more easily that someone in Greece, especially in a country as centralized as China? Don't you know that the whole country, despite its width, has only one time zone - Beijing?
And, this is 21th century. You, being in England, can be informed of what is going on in Greece.
Yes! BBC should contact the correspondent in Hong Kong. The distance from Canton to Peking is longer than Berlin to Moscow.
The BBC had to reduce their number of correspondents as they were unable to make the books balance. Hence - you now get someone in the time zone, that speaks the lingo, but is a long way away from the action.
calm down amigo. She is responsible for the whole region. Does she need to be there in the flooded region? Nope!

I’m sure they are very much capable of rebuilding everything within 2 weeks. Just like those hospitals during the pandemic. 😂
What happen every year china flood problem it is from rain or from over flow dam ?
The South China Sea/West Philippine Sea.
The precipitation is simply too much…
China is so big, don't you know?
Simple because the dam they built the water can't flow to the ocean considering China blocks the river flows using dams so when that water gets released it comes down instantly flooding impacts are only worse if the flood water levels and the dam is almost on 100%
Moonson makes eastern China very fertile but it is also a curse
This is what happens to the weather when you build a coal fired power station every week.
互联网上摸黑？ 穷比
You mean the US under trumps administration?
Most of those flooded buildings along the river are abandoned. You can see the caved in roofs and fallen down walls. People haven't lived in them for years, probably because they got flooded so often!
No, tbere are no abandoned buildings in China, just evacuated ones...
不趕緊來台灣會議，倒是意見特別多又愛加害人，如何不會有災難，上天都不想幫你，沒天理
Referring to water levels being "their highest in half a century" isn't saying much. A 50-year flood should have been planned for and BUILT for, but that isn't what China is about. Displacing tens of thousands of residents is a matter of no importance to the Chinese government.
It is enough of what happening in your country now.Stop bullying the Philippines because karma is real
lol
Bullshit
sounds like a normal day in Wales BBC making a mountain out of a molehill again ...
In June 2022, they endured the same thing. Time to move out.
I lived there for over 15 years. It is easy to see why it floods there.
1) It is a flood plain. Should never have put in so much housing and businesses.
2) By putting in all these buildings, they covered up areas with concrete and asphalt where the water would drain off. So now the water cannot drain.
Hence, flooding....
Considered the Livelyhoods of People surrounding Quang/Guang Dong Delta like Mekong Delta in Southern Vietnam, we can expect to see more Residential and Industrial Zones in and around Guang Zhou built up...
The cost of Flooding's versus the Economics Benefit of High Density Population are the balance that Urban Planners and Engineers and governments of all Level and Countries have to consider... No absolute "One Choice" -- There is no One Quick Fix.
China Population like Japan and South Korea began in Negative Growth since 2022; so are new extensions to lower density Population Cities would slowly solve current Problems.

Chinese leadership should pay attention to the needs of its people rather than spending so much money on warfare and making an expansive territorial claim.
They must prioritize their people

This is malicious smearing of China. This video is fake. Many years ago, China did experience a major flood disaster, but there were People's Liberation Army soldiers who arrived at the scene within 24 hours to rescue the people. We are not worried.

Fact-Check : Why is China the number 1 polluter?
According to 2021 data, China tops the chart in annual carbon dioxide emissions from coal, the country's highest-consumed fossil fuel. China yields an annual amount of 7.96 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide from coal - a far cry from the second leading country, India, which has an annual amount of 1.80 billion tonnes.
So I can say that If China and the rest of the world does not change its ways regarding polluting the world that results in climate change then this will definitely get worse....
