Hi, I'm Viyu. Ask me about the stories collected here. I answer only from them, with numbered links to the outlets that published them, and I say so when they do not cover it.
Beijing has been hit by four consecutive days of torrential rain, linked to the remnants of superstorm Doksuri, killing 11 people with 13 missing and forcing more than 50,000 residents to evacuate. The flooding disrupted transport, cancelled nearly 400 flights, and also severely affected the neighbouring Hebei province.
