In a few days, China's coastal cities are flooded again.

It's said that the typhoon didn't hit directly or there was heavy rain, so why is that?

This is Beijing correspondent Kang Jeong-gyu.

The waves flood the land after hitting the breakwater.

The manhole lid on the city street, which has become a sea of water, keeps throwing up water.

The Dunchi Park, which leads to the sea, was also submerged in swollen water.

[Ningbo Merchant, Zhejiang Province (last 19th): There was no frenzy or heavy rain, but I was even more surprised that the water rose in a minute or two. I've never seen it before, and no one expected it.]

Recently, seawater overflowed in several cities along China's southeastern coast, causing flooding damage.

It's only been a month since the tide flooded last month due to the influence of the so-called 'super moon'.

This time, in addition to the moon's manpower, the "November typhoon," which has approached the southeastern coast one after another, is considered to be the main cause.

The typhoon did not come directly, but the tide was overflowing in the aftermath of the storm surge in the distant sea.

[Putsufu / Head of the National Oceanic and Environmental Forecasting Center: It is very rare for seawater to flow backward on the southeastern coast in mid-to-late November. Of course, it has to do with frequent autumn typhoons.

In April, a study found that Chinese coastal cities were sinking into Sinab.

The ground has subsided more than 3mm every year depending on the difficult groundwater development and the weight of urban building forests.

It also included an analysis of the disappearance of ¼ off the coast of China within 100 years due to the rise of sea levels caused by climate change.

In other words, 270 million people will lose a place to live, and experts warn that it's not just China's problem.
