Torrential rain soaking northern China triggered a deadly landslide, burst riverbanks and washed away cars on Monday, with thousands of people forced to evacuate the days-long deluge. A landslide on a highway in Sichuan province this month also killed five people after it swept several cars down a mountainside.

The dayslong rainstorms have left 30 dead in the Chinese capital and eight dead in its neighboring province of Hebei, state-run broadcaster CCTV said.
