Rescuers continued to search for at least 33 workers reported missing on Sunday after a landslide hit a hydropower station in east China's Fujian Province. Eight had been pulled out alive from the rubble by 2pm local time the same day. The landslide occurred in the morning, dumping about 100,000 cubic meters of mud and rocks downhill in the mountainous Taining County.

It also buried a Chitan Hydropower Station construction site in deep mud. Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged all-out efforts to rescue those caught in the landslide.
