Beijing and other cities braced for severe flooding on Friday as summer storms rolled across many parts of China, while inland regionsWild weather swings have gripped China since April, causing deaths, damaging infrastructure and wilting crops as well as raising fears of its ability to cope with climate change.

Videos shared on social media this week showed vehicles slowing to a crawl in the megacity of Chongqing in the southwest as traffic police gave directions boot-deep in water. In northern Shanxi province, vehicles laid half submerged, with some piled on top of each other.
