Abstract
This study statistically analyzed the horizontal crustal movement rates of GPS stations near the boundaries of China-Nepal,China-India and China-Bhutan.The calculations are based on the achievements of GPS measurements in Tibetan Plateau in the period of 1991 to 1999 with the average velocity.The nonuniform deformation of Tibetan Plateau caused the China's borders deformed.The western boundary has been moved in the direction of northeast with contraction area 0.37 km2 in nearly ten years.
