China braces for new typhoon

Residents living on China's east coast are bracing for Typhoon Haikui.

Just last week, Typhoons Saola and Damrey hit eastern provinces, killing at least eight people according to state media.

The official Xinhua news agency said the two storms left eight people missing and forced over a million to evacuate.

Typhoon Haikui was expected to make landfall on Monday, and local authorities had ordered all vessels to return to shore, according to state TV.

State media also reported that Typhoons Saola and Damrey damaged more than 10,000 houses across seven provinces.

State TV added that over 6,000 hectares of crops had also been destroyed.
