Hebei province just outside Beijing has seen some of the region’s worst flooding. Other parts of China have also seen heavy flooding, partly from the impact of Typhoon Doksuri over the weekend, leaving dozens dead and missing. The area, which includes the districts of Mentougou and Fanshan, are kilometers (miles) away from the city center, where the nation’s leaders live and many of its top administrative and business centers are located. Given the level of damage, it could take up to three years to restore full functions, Xia said. The casualty and damage numbers were current as of Tuesday, Xia said, adding that rescue efforts remained underway.
