Short summary
This study presents a national-scale database (1:4000 000) of active faults in China and its adjacent regions in tandem with an associated web-based query system. This database integrates regional-scale studies and surveys conducted over the past 2 decades (at reference scales from 1:250 000 to 1:50 000). Our system hosts this nation-scale database accessible through a Web Geographic Information System (GIS) application.
