The Sichuan – Yunnan region is divided into nine active secondary crustal blocks, based on several GPS repeat surveys at more than 200 GPS sites during the period 1999 – 2005. Velocities of the nine secondary blocks are calculated and analysed. The strain field within the area related to the 2004 Sumatra – Andaman earthquake event is also analysed. Results indicate that the crustal movement in the northern and western areas of the Sichuan – Yunnan region is stronger than that in the south and east. The horizontal velocities change from 19 – 20 mm/y in the northern and the central rhombic block to 11.7 mm/y in the southern rhombic block. The orientations of block motion vary from 99° in the north to 126 – 150° in the central area and 156 – 188° in the south, implying that the motion of the Sichuan – Yunnan rhombic block is dominated by a clockwise rotation. The velocity differences between blocks inside and outside the rhombic block are about 6.5 – 7.7 mm/y in the northern and central Sichuan – Yunnan region. The southeastward extrusion rate of the Tibetan Plateau shows a remarkable downtrend of up to 47% along the Xianshuihe Fault, suggesting an increase in strain accumulation and hence an area prone to strong earthquakes. The horizontal coseismic deformation caused by the Mw9.0 Sumatra – Andaman earthquake is <10 mm with a south-southeast orientation towards the earthquake epicentre. The dilatational strain rates from coseismic displacements reveal a possible interaction between the extrusion from the Tibet plateau interior and the underthrust effects from the Sumatra – Andaman earthquake.
