	Timing of Collision of the North and South China blocks
		Contemporaneous rifting of the South China block and subsequent drifting separated the South Qinling from the South China block during the middle to late Paleozoic.
		The North China block proved to be separated from the South China block during the Permian, and the separation presumably persisted until the Late Triassic, because the two blocks began to share the same paleomagnetic pole in the Jurassic, indicating that the collision must have taken place prior to the Jurassic.
		In particular, the late stage (Late Triassic) was coincident with the collision of the South Qinling orogen and the South China block along the Mianlue suture zone and was accompanied by widespread intrusion of collision‑type granites (Zhang et al., 1995).

	A second look at the geologic map of China: \the "Sloss approach"
		During the Jurassic and the Cretaceous, the Suolon suture was reactivated as the Yanshan fold and thrust belt, on the northern margin of the North China block (Davis et al, 1998, 2001).
		To the southwest, the North China craton is sutured against the Qaidam block along the Qilian Shan; the suture marks a collisional event of Devonian age.
		In the Jiangsu- and South China fold belts, all stratigraphic ages are represented approximately to an equal degree, with a small preference to the Quaternary due to the "blanketing effect".

		China’s major environmental problems in the mid-1990s included acid rain, chiefly from the burning of coal as fuel; water pollution from untreated sewage and industrial wastes; misuse of agricultural chemicals; and loss of arable land because of soil erosion and population pressures.

		The boundary between North China and South China is generally defined to be the Qinling Mountains and Huai River (Huai He).
		As such, the boundary between North and South China does not follow provincial boundaries; it cuts through Shaanxi, Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu, and creates areas such as Hanzhong (Shaanxi), Xinyang (Henan), and Xuzhou (Jiangsu) that lie on an opposite half of China from the rest of their respective provinces.
		The identification of the Huai River as the historical boundary between north and south China is spot on.

		The boundary between northern and southern China is generally defined to be the Qinling Mountains and Huai River (Huai He).
		The concepts of northern and southern China originate from differences in climate, geography, culture, and physical traits; as well as several periods of actual political division in history.
		Northern China is too cold and dry for rice cultivation (though it does happen today with modern technology) and consists largely of flat plains, grasslands, and desert; while Southern China is warm and rainy enough for rice and consists of lush mountains cut by river valleys.

		The North China plate merged with the Siberian-Mongolian Continent in the later Paleozoic, which led to the formation of the Tianshan-Yingshan Mountain zone along the northern margin and a regressive depositional sequence consisting of alluvial, fluvial, coastal and shallow marine clastic and coal deposits in the center and southern margin.
		In the Paleozioc period, the South China plate was broken away from the Gondwana supercontinent in the southern hemisphere and drifted northward.

		During 2003, China took the initiative and was the first to establish strategic cooperative partnership with ASEAN countries, and the first to join “South East Asian Friendship and Cooperation Treaty.” China also called for the formation of a free trade zone in East Asia.
		Therefore, while China is pursuing a principle to “keep our sovereignty rights, put aside disputes and concentrate on joint development,” the other surrounding countries, and even countries from other regions, are competing with each other in their hot pursuits of the South China Sea through every possible means.

	Neoproterozoic granitoid in northwest Sulu and its bearing on the North China-South China Blocks boundary in east China
		This suggests that the Wulian granitoids correspond to bimodal magmatism during the mid-Neoproterozoic in the northern margin of the South China Block in response to the breakup of Rodinia supercontinent.
		They were tectonic slices scraped off from the upper part of the South China Block during the Triassic continental subduction.
		This demonstrates that the suture location between the North China Block and the South China Block lies north of the Wulian and Penglai Groups rather than along the Wulian-Yantai fault that marks the northern margin of ultrahigh pressure metamorphic belt.
