China Evacuates Tourists and Issues Flood Alerts After Typhoon-Induced Mudslides

The flash flood at Gansu's Shuangshimen Scenic Area killed 10 people and injured 23, with hundreds rescued. China issued its highest red alert for flash floods amid ongoing severe weather during the peak summer rainy season.
