At least 15 people have died in torrential rains across southern China, state media reported on Saturday.

Eight died in two building collapses from landslides in Fujian province, near China's east coast, the official Xinhua News Agency said, citing the Wuping county information office.

Five others died and three were missing in Yunnan province, about 1,200 kilometres (750 miles) away in southwestern China, state broadcaster CCTV said in an online report.

Three children were swept away by floodwaters on Friday in Xincheng country in the Guangxi region, authorities said. Two died and one survived.


The storm damaged roads, bridges and telecommunications and power facilities in Yunnan's Qiubei county, which is about 130 kilometres (80 miles) north of the border with Vietnam.

Rescue workers help an elderly man through the floodwaters.


In Fujian, five victims were found in a collapsed factory building and three others in a collapsed residential building on Friday, Xinhua said.


Heavy rain started on Thursday evening in Wuping county, which is about 210 kilometres (130 miles) inland from the coastal city of Xiamen.


Video posted online showed streets flooded with muddy water and some roads partially washed away.

The storm damaged crops, cut power and destroyed 39 houses in the county, state media said. More than 1,600 people were evacuated.

15 is the official figure. A very round figure.
Who knows how many actually perished ?
To save face the Chinese communist government will never give the true figures.
Probably in the 100s.

HAARP again?

No the CIA has improved the technology in the 21st century to be just a glove and a fingersnap.

Well I guess we all have Beijingwalker as a mentor from his daily multi-posts in forums like the Americas...that you never seem to complain about or notice. It's only when somebody like me posts here that the Chinese members like you suddenly come out of the woodwork and start crying.

The PDF Staff (not the mods) just recently deleted over a dozen of his new threads and banned him for being a constant spammer. You don't see me creating a dozen new threads a day on the China & Far East forums and having the PDF staff after me. He's probably been banned over a dozen times in the last 2 years for his spamming...and I think the last time I was banned was way back in 2015.
