TLDR
In this article, a passive extension model was proposed for the geodynamic evolution of this region, which involves continental extension followed by magma generation via lithosphere-asthenosphere interaction, should be applicable to other areas of Cenozoic rift magmatism around the South China Sea and in the eastern Eurasian continental margin.About:

Palaeozoic and Cenozoic lithoprobes and the loss of >120 km of Archaean lithosphere, Sino-Korean craton, China
TL;DR: In the absence of convincing evidence for supra-subduction or intraplate processes it is believed that the dramatic change of lithosphere architecture in the Phanerozoic was caused by indentor tectonics resulting from the collision of India and Eurasia as discussed by the authors.

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.

Major, trace element, and Nd, Sr and Pb isotope studies of Cenozoic basalts in SE China: mantle sources, regional variations, and tectonic significance
TL;DR: In this article, the major, trace element, and Nd-Sr-Pb isotopic compositions of mantle xenolith-bearing Cenozoic basalts in southeastern China are measured to provide an insight into the nature of their mantle sources and processes.

Chemical and isotopic systematics of oceanic basalt : implications for mantle composition and processes
TL;DR: In this article, trace-element data for mid-ocean ridge basalts and ocean island basalts are used to formulate chemical systematics for oceanic basalts, interpreted in terms of partial-melting conditions, variations in residual mineralogy, involvement of subducted sediment, recycling of oceanic lithosphere and processes within the low velocity zone.
