A strong M6.2 earthquake in northwest China, the most severe since 2014, has resulted in significant economic and human losses. The quake, which occurred earlier this week, has led to the deaths of at least 149 people, with two individuals still missing, and caused economic damages estimated at $74.6 million, particularly affecting the agricultural and fisheries industries. Premier Li Qiang visited the affected areas in Jishishan County, Gansu Province, emphasizing the need for all possible measures to ensure the affected population can safely endure the winter. Additionally, the Macao Special Administrative Region government has pledged a donation of approximately 3.7 million U.S. dollars to support the regions in Gansu and Qinghai provinces impacted by the disaster. In response to the calamity and other challenges, China has allocated a second batch of funds from a 1-trillion-yuan issuance of government bonds, aimed at flood control and other projects in northern China.
