China Braces for Second Typhoon as Guangxi Remains Waterlogged

Super Typhoon Bavi, carrying 180 mph winds, will reach eastern China by July 9. The system follows Typhoon Maysak, which killed two people, evacuated 48,000 in Nanning, and breached three reservoirs. Guangxi's saturated soil and existing flood infrastructure stress compound the threat. Chinese meteorologists forecast additional heavy rainfall before Bavi arrives, affecting 150 million people across Guangxi, Guizhou, and Hunan. Emergency response already escalated to Level II—the second-highest tier.
