China's ruling Communist Party, helmed by President Xi Jinping, has stressed the need to accelerate responses to floods and natural disasters. This declaration was made during a meeting of the top decision-making body, the Politburo Standing Committee, according to state media reports on Thursday.

Describing the flood prevention situation as 'grim and complicated,' the committee noted that this year's climate has deviated from past patterns, leading to heavier-than-usual rainfall. The state media underlined the urgency in improving disaster management speed.
