Hello, this is China Deep Dive. We have all the information you need to know about China at present. Today's topic is:
Super Typhoon Ragasa, known as the “King of Winds,” made landfall in Guangdong on September 24, 2025, bringing winds up to 40 m/s and a storm circle over 1,300 km wide. The impact was devastating: skyscrapers in Hong Kong swayed, trees were uprooted, power outages spread, and panic buying swept across southern China.

In Guangdong and Fujian, cities came to a standstill under the “Five Stops” policy—halting work, classes, transport, production, and business. Coastal hotels and homes were flooded, and Hong Kong endured record storm surges, with waves crashing into residential areas.

Meanwhile in Taiwan, Ragasa triggered deadly landslides and a dam burst in Hualien’s Guangfu Township, killing at least 17 and unleashing 60 million tons of water. Thousands were displaced, and the military was deployed for rescue.

This video explores how Ragasa exposed the vulnerabilities of China’s and Taiwan’s disaster response systems while leaving widespread destruction across the region.
