Torrential rains pummel China China rainstorms kill 170

Beijing - Floods and landslides have killed more than 30 people across China in recent days, state media said on Monday, as a typhoon threatening eastern cities stayed away and weakened into a tropical storm.

Seven oilfield workers were killed in a landslide in the north-western province of Gansu on Thursday, the China Daily said.

Sixteen died in the south-western province of Yunnan on Thursday and Friday and a landslide in the suburbs of Taiyuan, capital of the northern province of Shanxi, killed 11 migrant workers in an iron mine on Saturday.

Typhoon Ewiniar, which prompted evacuations of cities along China's eastern seaboard on Saturday, missed China altogether, weakened into a tropical storm and rolled into South Korea.
