Provinces including Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong have activated emergency responses and taken preventive measures as Typhoon Dolphin, the 13th typhoon of the year, approaches, potentially bringing strong winds and heavy rain. Dolphin is about to enter the 48-hour warning zone of China and is expected to make landfall along the coastal areas between Zhejiang Province to northern Fujian Province as a typhoon or severe typhoon between Sunday afternoon and Monday Morning, China Central Television (CCTV) reported on Thursday.
Typhoon activity has intensified recently, with Typhoon Dolphin (No.13 of the year), Typhoon Kujira (No.14), and Typhoon Chan-hom (No.15) forming one after another. Kujira has weakened after making landfall in the Philippines, while Chan-hom is unlikely to affect China. Dolphin maintains strong typhoon intensity despite traveling a long journey, and is expected to approach the coast of East China, bringing strong winds and heavy rain, CCTV reported.
According to Dong Lin, chief forecaster at the National Meteorological Center (NMC), the key characteristics of Typhoon Dolphin are that it formed over distant open waters, has a long lifespan, features a large circulation system, and experiences frequent fluctuations in intensity.
According to Dong, Typhoon Dolphin formed near the International Date Line, something that has never happened since meteorological records began. Then it moved toward China, and is expected to make landfall at an intensity above the tropical storm level. This makes Typhoon Dolphin an exceptionally rare system.
Typhoon Dolphin was located 1,130 kilometers east of East China’s Zhejiang coasts as of 5 pm on Thursday. Large to very large waves are expected in Zhejiang’s coastal waters, and an orange alert for waves is maintained by the National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center, according to China’s Ministry of Natural Resources.
Affected by Typhoon Dolphin, rainfall is expected to begin this weekend. The National Meteorological Center has forecast heavy to torrential rains in parts of central and eastern China from Saturday to Wednesday, followed by further downpours in North China, Inner Mongolia, and southern Northeast China from Wednesday to Friday as the typhoon’s remnants interact with cold air.
China's National Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters and the Ministry of Emergency Management activated a Level IV emergency response for Zhejiang and Fujian provinces on Thursday as Typhoon Dolphin was forecast to bring strong winds and heavy rain to East China, according to CCTV.
Affected by Typhoon Dolphin, the Zhejiang Provincial flood control and typhoon prevention headquarters decided to adjust the maritime typhoon emergency response to Level IV at 2 pm on Thursday. Due to strong winds over the sea, 21 water passenger transport routes in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, had been suspended as of 3 pm on Thursday, CCTV reported.
Ningbo in Zhejiang had temporarily shut down all coastal attractions and high-risk marine tourism activities by 6 pm on Thursday due to Typhoon Dolphin.
Besides, Fujian activated a Level IV typhoon emergency response at 2 pm on Thursday as Typhoon Dolphin is forecast to enter Fujian’s tropical cyclone warning area on Friday and move closer to the East China coast, CCTV reported.
Fujian has ordered stronger safety management for offshore vessels, marine facilities, and ferry services as Typhoon Dolphin approaches. Coastal areas will reinforce shelter management and prevent people from returning to risky areas, while authorities prepare for heavy rain and wind on land, according to CCTV.
Guangdong Maritime Safety Administration activated a Level IV tropical cyclone response on Wednesday and imposed traffic controls from 6 pm on Thursday on vessels traveling northward through the southern entrance of the Taiwan Straits, CCTV reported.

。 Nation deepening partnerships through major energy projects in Latin America As the world's transition toward more sustainable development accelerates, China and Latin America are embracing broader and deeper energy cooperation, leveraging cutting-edge technological innovations to power a green future for the Global South. From State Grid Corp of China's Belo Monte Ultra High Voltage Direct Current Phase II transmission line in Brazil, to China Three Gorges Corp's comprehensive digital modernization of Brazil's legacy Jupia and Ilha Solteira hydropower stations, and the Cauchari solar project in Argentina, jointly undertaken by Power Construction Corp of China and Shanghai Electric Power Construction Co, China and Latin America are jointly setting new benchmarks for cross-border clean energy integration. These flagship projects go beyond traditional capital investment, representing a deeper leverage of China's technological standards and management expertise. By upgrading legacy infrastructure, Chinese enterprises are powering Latin America's green transition for more secure regional grid stability. This strategic momentum is guided by top-level diplomacy and shared visions. While addressing the opening ceremony of the fourth ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC (Community of Latin American and Caribbean States) Forum last year, President Xi Jinping noted that by adapting to the overriding trend of economic globalization, China and Latin America have continuously deepened pragmatic cooperation in fields including trade, investment and infrastructure construction. Xi emphasized that both sides should strengthen the alignment of development strategies and advance high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, calling for efforts to deepen cooperation in traditional areas such as energy and minerals, while expanding cooperation in emerging sectors including clean energy. Such top-level commitment builds on a long-standing strategic alignment. As President Xi pointed out at the China-Latin American and Caribbean Countries Leaders' Meeting in 2014, "China and Latin America are highly complementary in economy and closely aligned in development strategies, granting us natural advantages in strengthening cooperation". With such a strategic blueprint in sight, top Chinese energy regulators have emphasized the pivotal role of this cross-border synergy. Ren Jingdong, deputy director of the National Energy Administration, said that energy collaboration is a crucial component of pragmatic cooperation between China and Latin America, achieving remarkable results. "As China and Latin American countries have actively promoted energy transition and the development of renewables in recent years, new energy cooperation has emerged as a new highlight and a fresh driver for China-Latin America energy synergy," Ren said. Guided by these high-level consensuses, Chinese enterprises have delivered monumental infrastructure breakthroughs on the ground. Brazil has grappled for decades with a severe structural challenge. While its northern Amazon basin boasts abundant hydroelectric resources, the vast majority of its industrial and residential power demand is concentrated in the southeast. The 2,534-kilometer Belo Monte Phase II project, independently invested, constructed and operated by State Grid Corp of China under a 30-year concession agreement, bridges this divide. As a vital "green artery", it transmits massive volumes of hydropower directly to metropolitan load centers like Rio de Janeiro. "The megaproject ensures a highly stable and reliable power supply for Brazil's core economic regions, successfully resolving the nation's developmental bottleneck of spatial energy mismatch," said Ye Xiaoning, a senior engineer at the State Grid Energy Research Institute. Ye emphasized that the project establishes a global paradigm for cross-regional clean energy transmission, proving the safety, maturity and global applicability of China's ultra-high-voltage grid technologies. Beyond Brazil, China's clean energy footprint is having a transformative impact across other extreme terrains in South America. In Argentina, the Cauchari solar project stands as one of South America's largest single photovoltaic power stations, and is the world's highest-altitude solar park. Situated over 4,000 meters above sea level in the Andes Mountains, the 315-megawatt complex features more than 1.2 million solar panels. The landmark installation has ended Jujuy province's long-standing reliance on power transmitted from other provinces, achieving local energy self-sufficiency. Furthermore, China's unparalleled expertise in hydropower operation has breathed new life into Brazil's legacy energy assets. Through a landmark $3.7 billion transaction establishing a 30-year concession, CTG Brasil officially took over the operation of the Jupia and Ilha Solteira hydropower stations, which feature a combined capacity of nearly 5 million kilowatts and meet the electricity needs of over 6 million people annually. Rather than merely managing the aging infrastructure, CTG initiated a monumental technical overhaul. By upgrading mechanical equipment that had operated for nearly half a century into fully digital and intelligent monitoring systems across 12 generating units, CTG successfully performed a "heart transplant" on the legacy power hubs. Industry observers said these milestone projects are just the beginning. As more Latin American nations accelerate their ecological transition, Chinese enterprises are poised to deepen their engagement through localized manufacturing, joint research and green financing under the framework of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation. As this Sino-Latin American energy synergy continues to unfold, it proves that China's mature grid and generation solutions are essential enablers for emerging economies seeking to decarbonize at affordable costs while maintaining power stability and self-sufficiency, said Ye. "Together, China and Latin America are actively charting a shared, sustainable course for the global energy revolution and setting a powerful example for Global South cooperation," he said.
