Short summary

Western Pacific plate subduction played a key role in the late Mesozoic geologic evolution and volcanism in East Asia. New and published zircon U–Pb ages of extrusive rocks are compiled in SE China. Results show that the volcanism mainly spanned ~95 Myr (mainly 70 Myr, Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous) and migrated northwest from the coast inland, implying the Paleo-Pacific Plate subducted northwestward and the roll-back subduction did not begin until the Aptian (~125 Ma) of the mid-Cretaceous.
