Heavy rains hit India's Mumbai

"Heavy rains hit India's Mumbai"

This was a news in chinese english daily Xinhua

Is this sentence in Chinglish, or English?

Mumbai is a big city (financial capital of India) in India.

Is it right to say, "India's Mumbai", since there is no "China's Mumbai" as such..

I have never heard such usage.
