Xi urges beefed-up typhoon relief efforts, swift repairs

President Xi Jinping has urged beefed-up disaster relief efforts after Super Typhoon Yagi struck southern China, with normal operations gradually resuming on Sunday.

Yagi, the 11th typhoon of the year, reportedly was the most powerful autumn typhoon to strike the Chinese mainland in more than 70 years. It made landfall twice on Friday, hitting Hainan province first and then Guangdong province.

Four people were killed in Hainan and 95 injured. No casualties were reported in Guangdong.
