To improve the ability to prevent and minimize earthquake disaster risks, and to reduce earthquake disaster losses, China is currently building a nationwide earthquake early warning system (EEWS) with the largest seismic network in the world. In this paper, we present the newest progress of this project through describing the overall architecture of the national EEWS and evaluating the system performance during the 2022 Lushan M6.1 earthquake. The accuracy of the source characterization for the Lushan earthquake is discussed by comparing the continually estimated location and magnitude with the catalogs obtained from the China Earthquake Networks Center. For this earthquake, the EEWS generated a total of five alerts, and an initial alert was created 5.7 s after its occurrence, with excellent epicentral location and origin time estimation. The final alert was issued 16.5 s after origin time with a magnitude estimate of M6.1, the same as the catalog value. However, from the point view of alerting performance, the radius of the real blind zone without warning time was about 30 km and much larger than the theoretical result, mainly caused by the releasing system not considering the epicenter distance of each terminal when issuing the alerts. Although the earthquake exposed some limitations that need to be addressed in future upgrades, the results showed that most aspects of the EEWS presented a robust performance, with continuous, reliable event detections and early-warning information releasing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14174269","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,31]],"date-time":"2022-08-31T00:13:56Z","timestamp":1661904836000},"page":"4269","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Chinese Nationwide Earthquake Early Warning System and Its Performance in the 2022 Lushan M6.1 Earthquake"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5946-7647","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chaoyong","family":"Peng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geophysics, China Earthquake Administration, Beijing 100081, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Earthquake Source Physics, China Earthquake Administration, Beijing 100081, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peng","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan Earthquake Administration, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiang","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Engineering Mechanics, China Earthquake Administration, Harbin 150080, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinrong","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan Earthquake Administration, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yichuan","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan Earthquake Administration, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geophysics, China Earthquake Administration, Beijing 100081, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Earthquake Source Physics, China Earthquake Administration, Beijing 100081, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"103184","DOI":"10.1016\/j.earscirev.2020.103184","article-title":"Earthquake early warning: Recent advances and perspectives","volume":"205","author":"Cremen","year":"2020","journal-title":"Earth-Sci.
