Quote<<<
Unusually heavy rains have wreaked havoc in central and southwestern
China, leaving hundreds dead and disrupting the economy’s post-pandemic
recovery.
Having brought the coronavirus pandemic largely under control, China’s
leaders are now struggling with a surge of crippling floods that have
killed hundreds of people and displaced millions across the central and
southwestern parts of the country.
Flooding on the Yangtze River peaked again this week, in Sichuan
Province and the sprawling metropolis of Chongqing, while the Three
Gorges Dam, 280 miles downstream, reached its highest level since it
began holding water in 2003.
