Main Earthquakes in China and Historical Epicenter Distribution

China has suffered 33% of the world's strong earthquakes in the world with 7% of the world's land. It is the country with the most strong earthquakes on the mainland.
Since the 20th century, there have been nearly 800 earthquakes of more than magnitude 6 in China, covering all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government except Guizhou and Zhejiang provinces and Hong Kong SAR. As many as 550,000 people have died as a result of the earthquake, accounting for global earthquakes in the same period. 53% of the death toll. The Chinese people often take pride in “we use 7% of the world’s land and support 22% of the world's population.” But few people know that China’s 7% of land also suffers from 33% of the world’s strong earthquakes. The country with the most strong earthquakes in the world. The weakness of the Chinese people's sense of earthquake resistance is the biggest difference between China and Japan.
Earthquakes are associated with certain earthquake structures. In China, the interaction of the Pacific Plate, the Indian Plate, the Philippine Sea Plate with the Eurasian Plate, and the deep Earth dynamics of the Eurasian Plate influence the development of the massive Late Quaternary active faults, which are also large. A hotbed of earthquakes. Since history has been recorded, almost all of the 8th and 80-90% of the magnitude 7 or more strong earthquakes in China have occurred on the edge of these faults.
