Could be some radar attenuation there though. Does anyone have a link to the Chinese radar?

Chinese radar is quite inferior. Just joking (sort of).
The radar is accurate. Check the sat imagery:

I see what you mean on that image.
Typhoon Talim blows over Taiwan
Typhoon Talim has passed over the island of Taiwan, felling billboards and trees and smashing windows.
At least one person was killed and 24 injured as winds and rain lashed the mountainous, densely-populated island.
Schools, public buildings and financial markets remained closed, amid warnings that heavy rainfall could still cause landslides and flooding.
Typhoon Talim is now en route to south-east China, with sustained winds of up to 144 km/h (90 mph).
Most air and land traffic in Taiwan is expected to return to normal later on Thursday, but weather experts predict that strong winds and rains will continue in central and southern areas.
Some residents of coastal areas have been evacuated in anticipation of the typhoon, the China Daily newspaper reported.
'Dangerous'
By mid-morning local time on Thursday, the storm was centred over the Taiwan Strait, about 60km (37 miles) from the city of Taichung in central Taiwan.
The worst of the storm had passed by the time people woke up in the city of Taipei.
A taxi driver told the Reuters news agency that fierce winds and torrential rain had made driving dangerous during the night.
"I heard a loud bang and saw scaffolding had crashed into the street right next to my car. It was a close shave," he said.
An elderly man is reported to have drowned during the storm after slipping into a pond, according to Taiwan's Disaster Relief Centre.
An express train from Kaohsiung city to Taipei was cancelled after one of its windows was shattered by a falling signpost.
Nine people - eight prisoners and a policeman - were hurt when the van they were travelling in hit a road barrier.
Talim had earlier been classed as a category 4 storm out of a five-level ranking, with five being the strongest.
Typhoons and tropical storms often hit the island between June and September.
Last August, an entire village was buried in northern Hsinchu county when Typhoon Aere struck, killing 24 people.

Typhoon death toll rises in China
At least 72 people have died in eastern China because of flooding and landslides triggered by Typhoon Talim.
About 52 were killed in Anhui province, Xinhua news agency reported. It also said 15 died in the city of Wenzhou and five in Jiangxi province.
More than 20 people are missing. Hundreds of thousands have been affected by Talim, which has destroyed property estimated at $1bn (£540m).
The storm hit China on Thursday after killing two in Taiwan.
Roads, buildings, telephone exchanges, electricity and water supplies were badly damaged after Talim made landfall on Thursday.
In Anhui province alone more than 100,000 people had to leave their homes.
Up to a million people were moved from low-lying coastal flood plains in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, Xinhua said.
There have also been reports of extensive damage to crops.
In one mountainous rural area, mudslides buried two buildings with 11 people still inside.
One died before rescue teams arrived, while five others were hurt.
Almost 12,000 homes were damaged in the south-eastern coastal city of Wenzhou, in Zhejiang province, Xinhua said.
Serious flooding throughout southern and eastern China this year has killed more than 1,000 and left hundreds missing, presumed dead.
Typhoons regularly hit Asian nations along the western edge of the Pacific Ocean throughout the summer months.
Typhoon Nabi, a separate storm, is heading towards southern Japan, with winds of up to 160km/h (100 mph).
It is expected to batter much of Japan over the next three days.
