Still, the death toll and damage in China are severe.

Two typhoons alone this month caused widespread destruction in eastern China, killing nearly 150 people.

Typhoon Talim left at least 124 dead and 31 missing earlier this month, with some 19 million residents affected and 1.84 million evacuated.

Last week, Typhoon Khanun struck the same area, killing at least 14 people, with nine others missing. A total of 5.5 million residents were affected, with more than 1.35 million people evacuated.
