Key Points Seo et al. (2014) incorrectly reflects the dominant Asian dust transporter in the western Philippine Sea during the middle‐late Quaternary The conclusion derived from their low‐resolution clay mineral data conflicts with their Sr‐Nd isotopic data Eastern Asian deserts are the major dust source in the western Philippine Sea during the middle‐late Quaternary
