Typhoon Gaemi, a powerful tropical cyclone, has caused widespread devastation in Taiwan and the Philippines, with its remnants now heading towards China. The storm has led to numerous casualties, including at least 15 deaths in the Philippines and three in Taiwan, with hundreds more injured. The heavy rainfall has caused flooding, submerging roads and houses in southern Taiwan, while a cargo ship sank near Kaohsiung, leading to a search for missing crew members. Additionally, a tanker carrying fuel oil sank off the coast of the Philippines. As the storm moves towards China, authorities in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian province, have taken precautionary measures, including banning group gatherings, closing schools and tourist attractions, and ordering the closure of nonessential businesses. Other coastal Chinese provinces are also evacuating tourists and advising ships to seek shelter. In addition to the immediate impact, the storm is expected to bring heavy rainfall to other parts of China, including Beijing, exacerbating the already severe flooding in southern China. The typhoon has also brought hurricane-force winds to islands in Japan, causing significant damage. In Taiwan, more than 700,000 electricity customers have experienced power outages, with about 13 percent still without power as of Thursday afternoon. Despite the widespread impact, the world's largest maker of advanced computer chips, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, has reported no disruption to its operations. Overall, Typhoon Gaemi has caused significant damage and disruption across the region, with its effects likely to be felt for some time to come.
