Another tropical cyclone is expected to make landfall in or have a major impact on China in late September.
This will be bringing gales and heavy rains to the country’s southern and southeastern regions, an official said Tuesday.

China has been hit by Typhoon Saola and Typhoon Haikui earlier this month.
