More than 2 million affected by China flooding

In recent news , Beijing capital of China has been deeply affected by the recent flooding in eastern province China , where prices has increase steeply by about 15% over the past few weeks. Causing inflammation within the country. Prices of basic necessity has risen over the past few weeks.

A heavy downpour and thunderstorms and left many huge areas of china's relatively wealthy areas flooded, with at least 422,500 acres of farmland underwater. Causing extreme losses to farmers and suppliers. The astonishing fact is that one standard soccer field is about 2acres. Imagine 422,500 acres of crops and wheat. The damage done has left more than 2million people affected from business man to farmers and even blue collar workers. About 1000 businesses are forced to close down for the time being due to the heavy flooding in eastern china.

Damages occurred from the flooding is approximately 5billion yuan which is equivalent to 772million. Flooding has also caused transportation of goods around China to be blocked and unable to supply goods to those in need. 170 people were said to be missing or even dead. This flooding was the worst in 20 years as quoted by one of the farmers. It reduces vegetable output by 20percent and prices of fruits were increased by 40 percent. The main factor was the major jump in food prices of about 11.7percent from the previous month. Since then the economic of China has been dropping ever since , including the stock prices which mainly depended on natural resources and shipping.

Due to this natural disasters more than 2million people are affected , in my opinion i feel that such natural disasters are unavoidable as scientist these days are still not able to predict the outcome of such impending mishaps. Hence China as a body should practice self awareness such as being prepared for rainy days , literally and mentally. China government should also put aside Funds for such natural disasters which are inevitable. In such cases i feel that the China citizen should work together to overcome this , so as not to bring down the economy as China plays a big part in the world economy's. China's Government should step up as i feel that they are not doing enough to ensure a speedy recovery from this flooding whereas taking matters with no urgency.

All in all , every country should be prepared for all kinds of natural disasters such as earthquakes , famine , floods and even tornadoes. Such mishaps have happened to many other country thus no one is spared or even safe from such disasters. Therefore in conclusion i think that we should all live life and be prepared always.
