The Chinese authorities last week halted or restricted the electrical supply to thousands of industries in Sichuan in light of this. Companies like Toyota, Foxconn, and Tesla have temporarily halted operations at several of their China-based units as a result.

In China's Sichuan, Hebei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, and Chongqing prefectures, at least 2.46 million people and 2.2 million hectares of agricultural land have been affected by drought. The drought is also causing more than 780,000 people to require direct government help, according to China's Ministry of Emergency Management.

After so many years, China has seen a direct economic loss of 2.73 billion yuan in July alone as a result of the drought, which has affected 5.5 million people.
