We analyzed the present state of crustal horizontal movement in part of the North China region using existing GPS re-observation data (1992-1995) and drew the following conclusions: (1) The monitored region appears to be in tensile movement, with the trend of the principal tensile strain in the WNW-ESE direction; (2) There are two zones of higher maximum shear strain in the monitored region, namely, the Beijing zone and two sides of the Tancheng-Lujiang fault near Linyi; (3) There exists a striped compressive zone which stretches in the NNE-SSW direction; the zone of maximum planar compression is located in the Beijing zone; (4) The displacement field has an obvious zoned distribution.
