- 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.

127 million people in one province, that's a country 😮😮
3 east African countries
Several. Canada has less than 35M.
@kevinkirathe It depends because Countries like Nigeria, Egypt and Ethiopia has more than 100 million each.
Similar to the population of Japan.

Chinese govt should stop bullying the Philippines. Stop being so greedy.
The CCP and PLA think they are the 'stuff'. AHahahahahahahahahaaaaa!! Make no mistake, China hasn't fought a modern day war in nearly a century and THEY are going to take over the world??? When alligators fly....smh
that's the reverse so you think a small nation to get sympathy but unreasonable claiming China's one of the islands!

Chinese leadership should pay attention to the needs of its people rather than eating up one island after another that belongs to the Philippines.

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!

Didn't affect major coastal cities. China is so big that no single weather event can leave a visible hit to its economy.
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.

Right... The mind boggles at how big the city's must be there
Guangdong province is about the same size as great britain
And this is a subtropical region so this is one of the better regions for agriculture. More food = more people

Oh wow
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.

@@magicmind6458
And you shouldn't be lecturing people about what they can and can't say. If someone goes on a public forum and makes ridiculous assertions completely devoid of reason, then they invite the type of response they receive.
Oh, so I can’t discuss a fictional character? Anyone that raises the issue of their religion/delusions in public is inviting a critical response.
When heaven sneezes, the world catches cold. The most beautiful places we admire in the word becomes uninhabitable. Fear God and respect Him. He owns the world.
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.
Regards,
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 bad...😮
In the Philippines 45 degrees Celsius.. China is heavy flooding.. What a world
Maybe using coal plants for Electricity is not a good idea 😅
THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BUILD GIANT DAMS THAT DONT BELONG THERE....😊
Someone is jealous that china can make dams
When was the last time u created 1 ..middle ages 😂
It is enough of what happening in your country now.Stop bullying the Philippines because karma is real

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....
