BEIJING (AP) — Five people have died and three are missing after heavy rains caused flooding and a landslide in eastern China. State media reported Sunday the floods swept through part of Hangzhou city and engulfed many houses. The rain led to a partial mountain collapse and mudslide, affecting multiple areas. Every year, seasonal flooding hits large parts of China, particularly in the semitropical south. However, some northern regions this year have reported the worst floods in 50 years. The torrents have been affecting different parts of the country this month and have caused casualties.
