47 missing as typhoon wrecks havoc in China

At least 47 people are missing after Typhoon Wutip sank two Chinese fishing boats in the South China Sea. The boats, both from south China’s Guangdong Province. hey attempted to navigate gales near the disputed islands called Xisha by China and Paracel by Vietnam Islands. So far, rescuers have retrieved 13 survivors, the sources said, adding that search and rescue operations are continuing. China’s maritime authority on Sunday upgraded its wave warning from yellow to orange, the second-highest of a four-tier colour-coded weather warning system, as the typhoon approached land.
