Re: kaiyuan,china deadly tornado.
This guy got more than he was bargaining for. The tornado moved towards where he was filming, although initially it looks like it would pass him by.

Re: Kaiyuan, NE China deadly tornado
According to this recently published paper, tornadoes are common in China. The paper, which is paywalled, mentions 4763 tornadoes recorded in China between 1948-2012. Abstract here:

A map here indicating the global hot spots for strong tornadoes based on meteorological parameters taken from NCEP data base.
China is certainly highlighted.

Re: Kaiyuan, NE China deadly tornado
Regions of the world that get violent tornadoes are plains on the lee side of mountain ranges. The South Island is the exception because it is too small to create the effect of a lee cyclone.
The above map does not indicate the micro set ups for smaller tornadoes and the West Coast of the South Island is one because of the barrier jet that develops in NW flow. The low level flow is veered into the NE. In Britian the Midlands is another example of a micro set up for tornadoes due to topography. The Birmingham tornado was an example.
