Abstract: We present the most recent crustal displacements in China, based on two GNSS observation campaigns in 2009 and 2011 at 1972 sites of the national major scientific infrastructure project “Crustal Movement Observation Network of China” (CMONOC). The displacement map shows the far-field effects of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake on stress-field of northeast China, as well as postseismic deformation associated with the 2001 Kunlun Shan and the 2008 Wenchuan earthquakes, and it also displays the current deformation of the Tibetan Plateau due to the indention of the Indian plate in unprecedented details.

Key words: Crustal movement, GNSS, Crustal Movement Observation Network of China(CMONOC), Chinese mainland
