Sure looks like an agricultural sprayer being put to another use, like spraying for bugs/mosquitoes in some South East Asian country.

Close or not ?

Most of Asia drives on the right. The lettering on the truck, and the distant hotel, is Chinese.
The blowing looks like an artificial snow maker at a ski resort: nobody would be doing that, so I like the mass-spraying conjecture. China under Mao embarked on grand programs like that: mass planting of trees in Beijing to reduce the summer air temperature; people encouraged to swat four flies per day.

I reckon it looks like a dust settling machine. My guess is they are demolishing a building and want to suppress the dust.

an ex-work colleague took a redundancy package from the IT consultancy we worked for, learned Chinese and moved to one of the big industrial cities in China to teach English. His 2 comments where the strange looks he got being a white Anglo in a chinese town and the smog so bad that 15 stories up he couldn't see the high rise next door from his apartment window and they were only a laneway apart!

Having lived through a pandemic I now understand all the painting of fat people on couches!

So then, is it an "agricultural sprayer" that's been converted for another use ?

In short, no. An agricultural mister sprays outwards or in a radial fashion and are designed so that the chemical mist will settle out rather quickly. The dust suppressor machines shoot it straight out and with a lot finer mist so the droplets will float about in the air, collect the dust and then settle out.
