China evacuates over one million as Typhoon Bavi nears
More than 900,000 people have fled their homes in China, officials said, as an approaching typhoon lashed northern Taiwan and Japan's remote southwestern islands on Saturday, toppling trees and leaving tens of thousands without power.
Typhoon Bavi is expected to make landfall in China early on Sunday, with a total of more than 900,000 people evacuated from their homes in the capital Beijing and the eastern metropolis of Wenzhou, city governments said.
