Sichuan Province upgraded and issued an orange flood warning at 5:00 p.m. on August 16. At 7:00 p.m., the peak flow of the Tuo River was about 8,100 cubic meters per second, the largest flood peak that has passed through Jintang County since the beginning of this century. Severe floods hit many parts of Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan. The water in the old town of Jintang County reached the second floor. Local residents said the flooding was mainly caused by the discharge of water from upstream.

Mr Li, a resident of Jintang County, told The Epoch Times that the ground floor of the old town was completely flooded for nearly a day after the flooding began on August 15. It wasn’t until the afternoon of the 17th when the flood peak passed that the water level began to recede. He said there were two main reasons for the flooding in Jintang.

First of all, the location is special. There are several rivers flowing into the Tuo River, so the ability to discharge the flood is relatively poor. Second, such a severe flood was mainly because of the upstream discharge, rather than the heavy rainfall reported by the Chinese media. “This amount of rain cannot flood the first floor. It’s mainly because of the flood discharge,” he said. “It has flooded three times in just a few days.”

In the face of an imminent food crisis in China, the anchor of CCTV, Bai Yansong, has spoken out saying that the Chinese people need to restore the feeling of hunger. His opinion was broadcasted by state-run media recently and has been met with fierce reactions from the public. Recently, the CCP donated 163 tons of rice to Russia while asking its citizens to reduce the consumption of food.
