Guangdong braces for Super Typhoon Ragasa with widespread suspensions

Super Typhoon Ragasa, the strongest storm of the year so far, is moving toward South China's Guangdong Province, triggering massive transport disruptions and regional suspension protocols. Key measures include a full shutdown of all high-speed and conventional trains in Guangdong on September 24, with resumption from September 25 based on safety assessments. Cities like Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Jiangmen and Yangjiang will implement staggered suspensions of classes, work, production, transport and business operations on September 24. Authorities emphasize extreme caution as Ragasa may rival 2018's Typhoon Mangkhut in destructiveness. Residents are advised to monitor official updates and avoid coastal areas.
