The typhoon has brought heavy rains, flooding, and power outages to parts of the country.

The worst-hit areas are in the eastern provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In Jiangsu, more than 800,000 people have been evacuated, and in Zhejiang, more than 400,000 people have been evacuated.

The typhoon has also caused widespread damage to property. In Jiangsu, more than 10,000 houses have been destroyed, and in Zhejiang, more than 5,000 houses have been destroyed.

The government has dispatched relief teams to the affected areas. The teams are providing food, water, and shelter to those who have been displaced by the typhoon.

The typhoon is expected to weaken in the coming days, but it is still expected to bring heavy rains to parts of China. The government has warned residents to stay safe and to avoid unnecessary travel.

Typhoon Doksuri is the latest in a series of powerful storms to hit China in recent months. In July, Typhoon Chaba caused widespread damage in the southern provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi.

The government has warned that China is facing an increased risk of natural disasters due to climate change. In recent years, the country has experienced more frequent and intense storms. (ILKHA)
