Abstract
The Meso-Cenozoic tectonic attribute of southern China is a continenta l tridirectional orogenic belt formed by subsynchronous interaction am ong the Tethys, Northwest Pacific and Kunlun-Qinling tectonic domains. It was created by superimposition of repeated orogenies since the Lat e Permian. The Indosinian folds therein are gentle and localized.
