China evacuates 900,000 people as Typhoon Bavi moves north

Chinese authorities evacuated more than 900,000 people as Typhoon Bavi moved across the East China Sea after lashing Taiwan and Japan’s southern islands. The storm, which gained strength as it travelled north, prompted high-level emergency responses across several coastal provinces. Mass Evacuations and Regional Impact The mass displacement focused on coastal regions vulnerable to storm surges and heavy rainfall. Local disaster management agencies confirmed that nearly one million residents were moved to temporary shelters or higher ground to avoid potential flooding. Before reaching the Chinese mainland, the typhoon brought significant wind and rain to Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands, disrupting local transport networks and power supplies. Projected Path and Safety Warnings Meteorological data shows Typhoon Bavi is expected to maintain its intensity as it moves toward the Yellow Sea and the Korean Peninsula. Authorities in China’s Liaoning and Shandong provinces issued maritime warnings, ordering thousands of fishing vessels back to port and suspending ferry services. Emergency crews remain on high alert for landslides and urban flooding in the storm's projected path.
