China (Part 2)

1. In China, the territorial dispute between China and India over the areas of Askai Chin and North-East Frontier was not taught to the students. At least not taught to my China guests.

Torrential downpours and severe flooding have killed at least 14 people in northern and central China and left scores missing.

Most heavily hit was the northeastern province of Liaoning, where 10 people were reported dead and 46 were severely injured, said Xinhua news agency. Another 35 were missing.

By Monday more than 19,080 houses were destroyed and 188,000 people made homeless had been relocated, it said.
