Torrential rain in northern China has killed over 30 people, forced evacuations of more than 80,000 in Beijing alone, and triggered flash floods and landslides across Hebei, Tianjin, and 10 other provinces. The worst-hit area was Beijing's Miyun district. Authorities issued a second-highest rainstorm warning, and President Xi Jinping urged all-out rescue efforts. Landslides in Hebei’s Chengde region killed 8, with 4 missing. Over 130 villages lost power, and thousands remain stranded. The government has allocated ¥550 million ($76 million) for relief. Experts cite climate change for intensifying disasters, even as China pursues carbon neutrality by 2060. PC: (NDTV )
