Scores of Chinese netizens have recently begun sharing videos of local villages and towns being partially submerged after rivers broke through their banks.
On July 16, many Chinese Twitter users, such as @Lengshui8964, posted photos and videos of the Xiang River in Hunan Province breaking the bank, causing flood waters that began washing away people’s belongings. Twitter is banned in China, but many Chinese use software to bypass China’s firewall.
