TAIPEI/BEIJING (Reuters) - Typhoon Haitang swirled towards China's southeast coast on Tuesday after killing up to six people in Taiwan, injuring 30 and wreaking damage estimated at US$41 million. 

But as southeastern China prepared for the worst, the once-fierce storm was losing some of its power, packing maximum winds of 119 km/h (74 mph) and gusts of up to 155 km/h, making it a moderate typhoon, said Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau.
