BEIJING, Aug 30, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Four people were killed and dozens are still missing after rainstorms buffeted southwestern China last week, state media reported Wednesday. "At present, the floods have caused four deaths and left 48 people missing, and rescue work is ongoing," CCTV reported. China has seen a string of disasters caused by extreme weather in recent months. At least 78 people died when Typhoon Doksuri brought record-breaking rains across northern China last month, authorities have said. Scientists say human-caused global warming is exacerbating extreme weather events, making them both more likely and more deadly.
