Zhuozhou, China (AFP) Aug 9, 2023
Villagers in northeastern China told AFP that the losses from recent flooding were “huge”, a week after the heaviest rains Beijing has ever seen triggered widespread flooding in the region.
Zhuozhou, in Hebei, was blanketed by brown water in early August, with some reports suggesting the province shouldered the burden of a government decision to divert the deluge away from the capital.
