SHANGHAI/BEIJING (Reuters) -Shanghai halted transportation links, recalled ships and shut tourism spots including Shanghai Disney Resort on Sunday as it braced for Typhoon Bebinca, in what could be the strongest tropical cyclone to hit the Chinese financial hub since 1949. The Category 1 typhoon, packing maximum sustained wind speeds near its centre of around 144 kph(89 mph), was about 400 km southeast of Shanghai as of 5:00 p.m. (0900 GMT).
