TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed a geodynamic evolution of the South China Sea by subduction of the Izanagi plate beneath an east Asian Andean-type continental margin until middle Cretaceous, collision with the West Philippines Block around the early-late Cretagian boundary, post-collisional crustal extension and onset of rifting during the late Cretaged, prior to the India-Asia indentation process.About:

Petrogenesis of Mesozoic granitoids and volcanic rocks in south China : a response to tectonic evolution.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that these rocks were formed in time and space as a response to regional tectonic regime change from the continent-continent collision of the Indosinian orogeny within the broad Tethyan orogenic domain in the Early Mesozoic (T1-T3) (Period I) to the largely extensional setting as a result of the Yanshanian Orogeny genetically associated with the NW-WNW-ward subduction of the paleo-Pacific oceanic lithosphere in the Late Mesozooric (J

Phanerozoic tectonics of the South China Block: Key observations and controversies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an overview of key geological observations in the South China Block with respect to its Phanerozoic tectonics, and proposed a geodynamic model for the Mesozoic evolution of the SCB, which is characterized by strong thrusting/transpression, anatexic granitic magmatism, high-grade metamorphism and the poor involvement of the juvenile mantle derived rocks.

TL;DR: The Qinling orogen preserves a record of late mid-Proterozoic to Cenozoic tectonism in central China as mentioned in this paper, where high pressure metamorphism and ophiolite emplacement assembled the Yangtze craton, including the lower Qinling unit, into Rodinia during the ∼1.0 Ga Grenvillian orogeny.

Late Jurassic–Cenozoic reconstructions of the Indonesian region and the Indian Ocean
TL;DR: The Sundaland region was assembled by closure of Tethyan oceans and addition of continental fragments in the Cretaceous and Cenozoic as discussed by the authors, and a marked change in deep mantle structure at about 110°E reflects different subduction histories north of India and Australia since 90-Ma.

U-Pb zircon, geochemical and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic constraints on age and origin of Jurassic I- and A-type granites from central Guangdong, SE China: A major igneous event in response to foundering of a subducted flat-slab?
TL;DR: In this paper, the ages of the Nankunshan alkaline granite and the Fogang granitic batholith are reported. But the authors do not identify the type of granites.

Trace element discrimination diagrams for the tectonic interpretation of granitic rocks
TL;DR: In this article, a data bank containing over 600 high quality trace element analyses of granites from known settings was used to demonstrate using ORG-normalized geochemical patterns and element-SiO2 plots that most of these granite groups exhibit distinctive trace element characteristics.

Propagating extrusion tectonics in Asia: New insights from simple experiments with plasticine
TL;DR: In this paper, plane indentation experiments on unilaterally confined blocks of plasticine help us to understand finite intracontinental deformation and the evolution of strike-slip faulting in eastern Asia.

Role of the sub-continental lithosphere in magma genesis at active continental margins
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative contributions of the subduction and lithosphere components to the composition of active continental margin basalts can be calculated from their MORB-normalized geochemical patterns.
