                      cellulose delta C-13 data from a fen in northeast China as a
                      proxy for East Asian summer monsoon intensity during the
                      Late Glacial period. Based on their own results, cited
                      papers, and an extensive re-interpretation of
                      sedimentological and palynological data from nearby Lake
                      Sihailongwan, 'Hong et al. (2010) construct a hypothesis of
                      contrasting moisture conditions in northern and southern
                      China, with wet conditions in the north during the Younger
                      Dryas period and an anti-phase behaviour of Indian- and East
                      Asian summer monsoon intensity. However, we do not approve
                      of the reinterpretation of our Lake Sihailongwan data by
                      'Hong et al. (2010) and must strongly reject it. We show
                      here that neither the Hong et al. (2010) fen data, nor the
                      Lake Sihailongwan data or any other cited data allow for the
                      sound assumption of an intensified East Asian summer monsoon
                      in northeastern China during the Younger Dryas. The Late
                      Glacial variability of the fen data found by 'Hong et al.
                      (2010) can be easily explained by changes in the plant
                      assemblage down core and thus by the composition of the
                      peat. Furthermore, the use of bulk peat cellulose delta C-13
                      data as a precipitation proxy remains unproven for that
                      area. Hence, there is no basis for a model contrasting
                      Indian and East Asian summer monsoons during that period.
