2014年CRI 台风凤凰侵袭浙江 中国呼吁国际社会团结一致打击恐怖主义

 

Typhoon Fung-Wong has made landfall in east China's Zhejiang Province, bringing strong winds and rains.

The typhoon landed in coastal¹ areas of Xiangshan County of the port city of Ningbo last night.

So far, the typhoon-triggered rain has flooded around 8,000 hectares of cropland in Xiangshan.

Over 250,000 people have been evacuated² from their homes.

Over 3000 soldiers and rescue workers have been dispatched to the affected³ areas for relief work.

Typhoon Fung-Wong is expected to hit Shanghai this afternoon.

Local authorities are on standby to prevent rain-triggered floods

China is calling on the global community to join together to fight terrorism, following a number of explosions in Xinjiang that killed at least two people and injured many others.

The explosions in Xinjiang happened on Sunday afternoon in at least three locations.

Similar violence in the past has been blamed on militants⁴ from the East Turkestan Islamic Movement.

Recent reports also indicate that four Uygur people from Xinjiang with fake Turkish passports, allegedly seeking terrorist training, have been arrested in Indonesia.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry⁵ says details of the incident are still being verified.
