‘Super Typhoon’ Mangkhut’s Coming! Please Get Ready In Advance!

Guangdong is currently projected to receive two strong storms in the coming days, one of which – according to numerous predictions – is expected to morph into a super typhoon.

A standby signal No.1 has been issued in Hong Kong, while the Shenzhen Meteorological Bureau has issued a white typhoon warning. 

The first storm is currently forecast to arrive in southwest Guangdong province at around noon on September 13. The weather system began as a low-pressure area south of Taiwan yesterday morning and was upgraded to a tropical depression later in the day. 

The second storm, Typhoon Mangkhut, is big, and experts are warning that it has the potential to develop into a super typhoon.

Yesterday, Mangkhut cruised over the northern portion of the Mariana Islands. Earlier projections indicated the storm would mount a head-on assault on Guam, although the island escaped largely unscathed.

“We dodged a big one,” said US National Weather Service Meteorologist Landon Aydlett, according to the Guam Daily Post. “Thank God we weren’t looking at a Typhoon Pongsona coming through.” (Typhoon Pongsona slammed the American territory in 2002, resulting in widespread destruction). 

Storm tracking platforms indicate Typhoon Mangkhut will pass slightly to the north of the Philippines on Saturday, September 15, before continuing west towards Guangdong province.

While it’s possible Mangkhut may change course, the storm appears set to make landfall in or around the Pearl River Delta on either September 16 or 17. 

As of 3pm yesterday, Mangkhut was releasing gusts of up to 185 kilometers per hour, according to an estimate published by the Philippine Star. 

By Saturday morning, wind strength may reach 240 kilometers per hour near the eye of the storm. 

To put Mangkhut’s power in perspective, 1991’s infamous ‘Perfect Storm’ in the Atlantic, which killed 13 people, including the crew of the Andrea Gail, the protagonists of the non-fiction novel The Perfect Storm, reached a maximum wind speed of 120 kilometers per hour.  

According to the Philippine Star, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration defines a ‘super typhoon’ as a typhoon with “maximum sustained winds of 220 kilometers per hour.”

The aim of the Internet courts

With 800 million internet users and counting, China’s got its hands full with online disputes between citizens.

So to deal with those raging fires, the country has not one, but two dedicated “internet courts”.

Internet courts in the two cities, where e-commerce is booming, are aimed at developing an efficient, orderly and convenient Internet-based court system so as to modernize the country’s judicial system, the SPC statement said.

First Internet Court

China opened its first internet court in Hangzhou, capital of east China’s Zhejiang Province, in August last year to cater to the increasing number of online disputes.

In the past year, the Hangzhou internet court has heard about 12,000 cases and closed about 10,600, according to the SPC statement.

In the Hangzhou court, each hearing, conducted online, takes about 28 minutes on average, about 40 percent of a traditional offline hearing, and the court proceeding of each case lasts about 41 days, half the time needed for a normal case, the statement said.

The regulation of Internet Court

According to the regulation, internet courts mainly handle civil and administrative cases related to the Internet, such as contract disputes involving online shopping, service and small loans, copyright and infringement lawsuits, domain name disputes, and some administrative lawsuits.

The courts should run the proceedings largely online, which means filing the lawsuit, mediation, exchanging evidence, hearing and announcing the judgment will all be conducted through a customized Internet platform. The hearing will be done through live streaming on the same platform.

Internet courts can open the trial offline when the judges need to identify parties involved face to face and examine evidence. Other parts of the court proceeding can also be conducted off the line, upon the request of the parties involved and the needs of the trial.
