China Flood Crisis: Torrential Rains Swamp Beijing, 4,400+ Evacuated

China Floods: Torrential rain battered Beijing and northern China on Monday, triggering flash floods, landslides, and widespread chaos. Over 4,400 people were evacuated, with Miyun district worst-hit as roads turned into rivers and cars floated through streets. Water levels in the Miyun Reservoir hit a record 6,550 cubic meters per second. Nearby villages were submerged, and rescues are ongoing in areas like Datong. China’s flood alerts now cover 11 provinces. The government has rushed ¥50 million in aid to Hebei as the crisis exposes ageing infrastructure and intensifies climate-related risks.
