Flooding in West China Destroys Agricultural Production

Large volumes of floodwater released from upstream have destroyed two dams in one county, and villages are flooded.

The autumn harvest is at a severe loss in Dali County of Weinan city, Shaanxi Province, where 108 villages have been affected by floods.

In Dali's Zhaodu town, about 29,000 acres of farmland were flooded, and 25,126 people had to be urgently evacuated.

As to the reason for the flooding, some locals have voiced suspicion that it's caused by the local authorities intentional release of floodwaters to protect other areas.

Posts on social media by other local villagers in the disaster-stricken areas, across Zhaodu and Dali County, also said, "In order to protect Gansu Province in the upper stream, and Henan Province in the lower stream, Shaanxi Province opened their own gates for two flood releases. The flood passed through Dali, and the dam broke."

The Epoch Times has obtained a video showing the flooding in Dali County.

After the flooding disaster, non-government relief materials were sent to the area in batches.
