In the Chinese city of Shulan, 14 people died in floods caused by typhoon Doksur over the weekend.
Northeast China, Beijing, and Hebei province have experienced heavy rain and flooding since the typhoon made landfall in southern Fujian province two weeks ago.
More than 20 people were killed last week in Shulan, northeastern Jilin province, in Beijing and Hebei.
Officials have not yet released a nationwide death toll.

Three officials were among the dead in Shulan, including the deputy mayor of the city of about 587,000, state media said late Sunday. Water levels in the city dropped to safe levels, and emergency response efforts were mobilized to relocate residents and repair infrastructure. State media reported that electricity had been restored to 14,305 homes.
Regional officials said parts of northeast China's main river, the Songhua, and a tributary of the Nenjiang remained at dangerously high levels.
