On July 12, 2026, Hong Kong media outlet Hong Kong01 published an article analyzing the serious disaster brought by Typhoon No. 10 (Maysak) from both angles: the scale of the 'natural disaster' due to abnormal weather and the 'man-made disaster' of deficiencies in the social system that exacerbated the damage. The article mentioned that record-breaking heavy rainfall occurred in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from the 4th to the 6th of this month due to the impact of Typhoon No. 10, causing the 66-year-old 'Liulan Dam' to breach for approximately 50 meters. It reported that a total of 39 people died in the autonomous region, including 26 due to this breach, and 9 people went missing, in addition to extensive damage such as the submersion of jasmine fields, a major industry. It also reported that in Hubei Province, a violent tornado triggered by the typhoon killed 11 people and injured 331, and an incident occurred where a family of three trying to close a window in a high-rise apartment was blown out with the window and fell to their deaths. Furthermore, it pointed out that man-made aspects overlap with the background of these serious natural disasters. Regarding the dam breach, it argued that a large amount of past renovation funds were skewed towards economic projects such as irrigation, and flood control reinforcement for the main embankment was postponed. It also contended that the fall accident in the high-rise apartment showed the reality that modern urban planning and building standards are unable to cope with extreme weather conditions. Moreover, it cited concerns about water source contamination by a large number of pigs that drowned in the flood, an incident where a resident was bitten and killed by a cobra that escaped from a snake farm, and cases where dangerous animals like lions drowned in their cages at affected zoos, pointing out that industrial plans lacking preparation for extreme weather and the rigidification of systems unable to respond flexibly to emergencies further compounded the damage. The article emphasized that no matter how advanced technology or seemingly robust infrastructure a society possesses, it becomes vulnerable in the face of massive natural disasters if it lacks public warning systems, institutional integrity, and respect for human life. It concluded that going forward, with climate change as a premise, it is essential to reduce elements of man-made disaster and enhance society's 'disaster resilience' (response capability).
