China has been hit by a series of fatal floods this summer, leaving dozens dead and displacing huge numbers of people.
Last week authorities said that at least 63 were killed by landslides and floods in central China, which forced 1.6 million to flee.
Authorities in the southern region of Guangxi earlier this month said two dozen people had been killed or gone missing due to flooding, which also damaged thousands of houses.
