Abstract：On the basis of World Stress Map(WSM) plan and GPS velocity field data we studied the stress orientation and strain rate in the Chinese mainland by using the least squlares collocation method.The results show that the two fields are consistent in general,but there are differences in the east part of QinghaiTibet block,in which the orientation of stress is near NEword and that of strain raete is EW,and another difference region which locates in the west area of the Xiyu block whose stress orientation presents from NW to NE,with general direction is from west to east and the GPS principal compressive strain rate is mainly near NS.
