Typhoon Bavi Evacuates 1.8 Million in China and Japan

China evacuated over 1.8 million people as Typhoon Bavi approached the eastern city of Wenzhou. The typhoon, which had sustained winds of 144 km/h (90 mph), recently impacted Japan’s Sakishima islands and northeastern Taiwan. Approximately 1.7 million individuals were evacuated in Zhejiang province, with an additional 100,000 in Fujian province. This mass evacuation is crucial for minimizing risks associated with the storm's projected landfall, especially in Wenzhou, which has a population of around 10 million. Such measures are significant for ordinary investors as they indicate the potential disruption and economic impact on the affected regions.
