CHAOS & CATASTROPHE as Typhoon Podul SLAMS into Southern Taiwan | China BRACES for Impact | Watch

Typhoon Podul slammed into Taiwan’s Taitung County on Wednesday, forcing school and government office closures across nine cities, including Kaohsiung and Tainan. Moving at 36 km/h toward the Taiwan Strait and China, the storm triggered over 380 flight cancellations and the evacuation of more than 5,500 residents from vulnerable areas. Authorities warned of up to 600 mm of rainfall in mountain regions, risking floods and landslides. Hong Kong issued a Signal One warning, while China’s Fujian Province braces for Podul’s impact later this week. #TyphoonPodul #Taiwan #Taitung #Kaohsiung #Tainan #HongKong #China #Fujian #StormWarning #FlightsCancelled #Evacuation #FloodRisk #LandslideRisk #DisasterAlert #BreakingNews #WeatherUpdate #AsiaWeather #TyphoonSeason #NaturalDisaster #RainStorm #Podul #SchoolClosures #OfficeClosures #HighWinds #HeavyRain #TravelAlert #StormImpact #CoastalWeather #TaiwanNews #HongKongWeather #ChinaWeather Also Read Taiwan's AI Revolution: A Plan to Supercharge the Economy by $510 Billion :: https://www.oneindia.com/artificial-intelligence/taiwan-ai-revolution-a-plan-to-supercharge-the-economy-by-510-billion-011-7807895.html?ref=DMDesc New Satellite Images Reveal China’s Growing Nuclear Submarine Fleet Near Qingdao :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/new-satellite-images-reveal-china-s-growing-nuclear-submarine-fleet-near-qingdao-4126257.html?ref=DMDesc China's Paper Threat: The PLA's Military Mirage Over Taiwan :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/chinas-paper-threat-the-plas-military-mirage-over-taiwan-4097899.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.122~ED.346~

Hong Kong Floods: Hong Kong Hit By Torrential Rains | Schools Shut And Flights Disrupted

A ferocious rainstorm has brought Hong Kong to a near standstill, prompting the city to issue its highest “black” rainstorm warning. Torrential downpours turned iconic staircases into waterfalls and forced the closure of schools, courts, clinics, and portions of hospitals. Over 10,000 lightning strikes were recorded in just one hour as up to 90mm of rain per hour soaked the city and its surrounding tech hubs in Guangdong. The airport remained open, but delays plagued flights, and travelers were urged to confirm schedules before leaving home. Macau issued a Red rain alert while Guangdong faced rising riverbanks and deadly flash floods. With four rivers at risk of overflowing and massive infrastructure like the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge impacted, regional chaos threatens to intensify. Experts link the escalating deluge to climate change. Amid the chaos, Hong Kong Disneyland surprisingly remained open, continuing its scheduled “Friendtastic! Parade.” #HongKongFloods #BlackRainstorm #ChinaWeatherCrisis #ExtremeRainfall #ClimateCrisis #GuangdongFloods #MacauStorm #PearlRiverDelta #RainstormAlert #FlightCancellations #CourtShutdown #HongKongSchoolsClosed #FloodEmergency #XiJinpingGBA #GreaterBayArea #DisasterWeather #TorrentialRain #HongKongLightning #WeatherWarningChina #DisneylandOpen ~HT.318~ED.103~

India Hits China Where It Hurts Most, Teams Up With China’s Top Rival As Beijing Fumes | Details

In a bold diplomatic and military move, India hosted Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. with full state honours—while simultaneously dispatching warships for joint patrols in the South China Sea. INS Delhi, INS Shakti and INS Kiltan sailed alongside Philippine vessels inside Manila’s exclusive economic zone, triggering a subtle yet unmistakable warning to China. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs reaffirmed support for freedom of navigation, calling the waters part of the “global commons.” The joint drill coincided with Marcos’ five-day India visit, where the two nations signed a landmark Strategic Partnership agreement to boost defence, maritime cooperation, disaster relief and cyber security. While India didn’t name China, Beijing’s rebuke of “third-party interference” left little ambiguity. The coordinated political hospitality and military manoeuvres signal India’s rising Indo-Pacific assertiveness and a strategic alignment with one of China’s fiercest regional rivals—firmly placing New Delhi in the emerging anti-China security web across the Indo-Pacific. #IndiaPhilippines #SouthChinaSea #ModiMarcos #IndiaChinaTensions #IndoPacific #MaritimeSecurity #PhilippinesNavy #IndianNavy #FreedomOfNavigation #UNCLOS1982 #StrategicPartnership #IndiaDefence #ChinaPhilippinesTension #BeijingWarning #IndoPacificSecurity #IndiaWarships #ModiForeignPolicy #MarcosInIndia #GeopoliticsAsia #IndiaChinaRivalry
