 Chinese women near Mao Zedong's portrait on Tiananmen Gate wear plastic bags to protect their hair and face during a severe dust storm in this March 20, 2002 file photo. The year so far for China has been marked with a series of unusual events: Perennial spring sandstorms in northern China, worsened by severe drought, were thicker and more frequent. Winter was unseasonably mild _ the second warmest in the last 50 years _ while early spring temperatures were lower than normal. And summer monsoons dumped immense amounts of rain on provinces where the soil was unaccustomed to a deluge of moisture, unleashing deadly floods in areas far away from the banks of the mighty Yangtze River, where overflow has killed thousands over the decades (AP Photo/File) Related photos (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Related news Previoius photos (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Got any interesting photos?
