The worst drought on Earth in the last century happened on 24 October, 2005 in Manaus, capital of Amazon. The government scientists says it is mainly caused by warmer ocean temperatures. As the result, the Amazon River floodplains have dried up and people are walking and using bicycles on areas in which canoes and riverboats used to be the only means of transport, Greenpeace Amazon campaigners have observed.

The worst drought ever recorded was the Great Chinese famine. It happened from 1958 to 1961. Other famines include Chinese famine of 1907, Indian famine and Bengal famine of 1770.

As you can see, China has had more that enough natural disasters an is a very dry country.
