Tokyo residents have been marvelling at “China quality” weather of their very own, with the annual toxic dust storms blowing in from China more spectacular than ever – although identifying it as such is apparently now too politically sensitive for the government.
The Japan Meteorological Agency has been facing accusations of attempting to play down the China connection entirely – in one widely questioned report, it insisted the yellow haze “was not” the yellow sands which blow over from China on an annual basis, as did the NHK, which refrained from using the common “yellow sands” term in favour of the entirely ambiguous “haze.”
Although the sands are a “natural” phenomenon (if the results of massive desertification on the continent and the pollutants the shroud is laden with can be considered so), with health-threatening levels of “PM2.5” pollutants now blowing over Japan, the issue is rapidly becoming yet another politically sensitive issue.

time for some Persona 4 live action
This is truly BEARrific!
All these puns are unBEARable.
I bearly laugh at your pun.
Beary ironic that Persona 4 is a Japanese game that takes place in Japan.
Mayonaka terebi
You took the words right out of my mouth sir. I'm hearing the spooky bgm of p4 when i see these pictures.
silent hill : tokyo dust :p
Real Deal!!!
Curious when Japan did their industrial revolution did the inverse happen
winds blow to the east in the northern hemisphere...
there is no stupid questions... just inquisitive idiots...
I have a suspicion this isn't your ordinary smog.
I feel as if it's just one super light but dense smog that changes altitude according to temperature, and has properties allowing it to flow freely across the globe and not dissipate.
Earth will look like planet Jupiter soon.
Then where did it go :)
Well then where did it go
The fog has risen, time to call the Investigation Team. That is a Persona 4 reference
If it was red fog we'd need a miko to investigate.
Let's hope nobody starts watching the Midnight Channel.
to late already started but its not turning on :(
China is smart. They get to use biological warfare and no one can go to war with them over it.
chemical warfare actually...
smart enough to kill theirselves in the process.
an example of biological warfare. Tourists using the "lavatory" inboard a train "china" style.
Pffff, Ironic to see this considering how Chinese hate Japan so much for some islands. IT is the end of the world for Japan. I just hope this doesn't reach America.
EXACTLY! Knights of the Apocalypse will kill Japan! No worries I made contract for them to do so. YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING FOOLS!
Better face the apocalypse that some authoritarian governments , at least death is quicker .......
Incredible as it still appears creatures lobotomized by religion, in this site.
War chemical method is cheaper and easier, but there are several conspiracy theories that most advanced countries have their programs of climatic change as weapons of war!!
Eat your meds and sleep it off.
Not toxic pollution, just dust storms from the Gobi Desert. But anything to bash on China, right?
While true that they are annual dust storms, due to china's environmental problems those dust storms are ladden with toxins...
Crime time.
A meteor fell on my city some days ago, I couldn't give a fuck.
You are Russian. You are born to be apathetic to natural disasters of apocalyptic proportions.
for real?
in korea, we didn't get any of it...
nice weather... i wonder why... really.
==ㅅ==;;
Where is Ishihara to ban the Chinese Fog?
China is now exporting pollution. Makes sense - it's their growth industry.
Just wipe the PRC off the map, problem solved
The monsterous cloud only now has to pick up reinforcements of radioactivitity from the still leaking fuckuiyamamma power station and come on over to mexico for a tour around the world 3x before it finally thins out and dies. Can somebody say Beano China, uses some Beano in your food recipes and for gods sakes, open some windows.
Welcome to Sairento Hiru
Indeed persona 4 is real deal!
Drink down some canned air.
Our planet is slowing turning into Planet Spaceball, damn you Skroob!!
ZAAAAANNNKOOOKUUU NAAA TENNNSHII NO YOUUU NI
SHOOONENN YOU SHINNWA NI NAREEEEE!!!!!
Did someone check the Midnight Channel last night? Apparently Chiaki Takahashi is my waifu.
its cancer in a bottle. thats what they can do whit this shit.
Rather than going through South Korea, as one might expect, it just arcs below SK, completely sparing SK, and goes back up to cover almost the entirety of Japan. What a slap in the face to Japan.
Maybe the spirit of Chinese slain at the hands of the Japanese from back in the days are at play here, angry over the island dispute.
actually, SK gets this 'yellow wind' pretty much on annual basis. Every three seasons, some shit from china blows over and fucks up the already fucked up air in SK and everyone fuckin wears SARS masks that are bleached yellow and piss-color like they all just pissed out of their mouths after walking outside for 10 minutes.
China' s revenge :)
so MORROWIND
Well in any case at least Mothra won't be able to find Tokyo so easily.
I guess i know which time of year not to take a trip to Japan.
Must be from all those dirty mainlanders taking
dumps in the streets. A true Chinese shitstorm!
When does this happened ?
I live in Daikanyama(Tokyo) and I never saw the cloud.
