US EditionFour Killed in Landslide as Heavy Rain Drenches Northern China
NORTHERN CHINA, JUL 29 – Heavy rains triggered landslides and floods in northern China, killing at least 38 people and forcing over 80,000 to evacuate, with emergency funds and rescue efforts underway.
- Heavy rain on July 28 caused deadly landslides, flash floods, and severe flooding in Beijing and northern provinces including Hebei and Shandong.
- These conditions resulted from the East Asian monsoon, which drove extreme weather disrupting China's capital and surrounding regions, with some linking rainfall to global warming.

- Chinese President Xi Jinping called on authorities to intensify flood control, rescue operations, and disaster relief measures, stressing the importance of quickly relocating residents at risk and minimizing casualties.
