摘      要：China is the country with the most earthquakes and the most serious hazards from continental earthquakes in the world. During the 1960s and 1970s, a series of strong earthquakes attacked the cities and counties in China causing great damage and many casualties. The most striking one was the Tangshan earthquake ( M S7 8) in July 1976, in which over 240,000 people died and a large industrial city was leveled. Public demand for earthquake forecasting surged after this disaster. From the mid-1960s, systemic research on earthquake forecasting has evolved throughout the country. In this paper the main advances in earthquake prediction research in China have been summarized.
