Taiwan has implemented widespread closures as Typhoon Champi approaches the island, bringing significant risks of heavy rainfall and high-speed winds. Although the storm is gradually losing intensity, authorities remain cautious due to its large radius and potential for a direct hit. The government has evacuated nearly 1,300 residents from mountainous regions, while one fatality and dozens of injuries have been reported. Financial markets are closed, and hundreds of domestic and international flights have been grounded. Emergency services, including the military, are prepared for potential flooding in vulnerable coastal areas like Yilan. Meteorologists warn that the storm's impact could persist for approximately two days as it tracks toward the Chinese coast and southern Japan. Despite the severe weather, public transportation in Taipei continues to operate on a limited schedule, and high-speed rail services remain functional.
