flag A magnitude 4.9 earthquake struck China on October 26, 2025, at a depth of 130 kilometers near 29.15°N, 100.00°E, according to the National Center for Seismology. flag This follows two earlier quakes in September, including a 4.2 magnitude event in Xinjiang and a 4.1 magnitude quake at a shallow 10-kilometer depth. flag Shallow quakes typically cause stronger ground shaking and more damage. flag China, located in a seismically active zone between major tectonic plates, has experienced over 800 quakes of magnitude 6 or higher since the 20th century, with more than 550,000 earthquake-related deaths since 1900—over half of global fatalities. flag Since 1949, over 100 destructive quakes have killed more than 270,000 people and destroyed millions of buildings. flag Earthquakes remain a persistent threat to public safety and infrastructure across the country.
