Rapid increases in pollutant emissions in conjunction with stagnant\udmeteorological conditions result in haze pollution in China. Recent frequent\udhaze in China has attracted worldwide attention. Here we show a relationship\udbetween the haze events and Tibetan Plateau (TP)'s environment and climate\udchanges. Based on observational data taken over recent decades, we identify\udcentral-eastern China (CEC) as a climatological large-scale “susceptible\udregion” of frequent haze, which is harbored by the TP with its impact on\udmidlatitude westerly winds. The observational and modeling studies\uddemonstrate that the interannual variations in the thermal forcing of TP are\udpositively correlated with the incidences of wintertime haze over CEC.\udFurther analysis indicates that the climate warming of the TP induced changes\udin atmospheric circulation, driving frequent haze events in CEC. The frequent\udhaze occurrences in CEC are consistent with decreasing winter monsoon winds,\udintensifying downward air flows and increasing atmospheric stability in the\udlower troposphere over the CEC in association with upstream plateau's thermal\udanomalies. Therefore, variations of haze in China are related to mechanical\udand thermal forcing by the TP. Our results also suggest that implications of\udthe large TP topography for environment and climate changes should be taken\udinto account for air pollution mitigation policies in China
