The tectonic blocks that comprise present-day East Asia were amalgamated with Laurussia following the final closure of the Paleo-Asian and Paleo-Tethys oceans in late Paleozoic and Mesozoic times. These events allowed Pangea to reach its maximum packing at 220 Ma prior to supercontinent breakup . Quantifying the movement history of blocks surrounding the Paleo-Asian Ocean (PAO) can provide better understanding on the spatial-temporal evolution of the PAO and shed light on the paleogeography of East Asian blocks during the formation of Pangea.The timing of the PAO's final closure is contentious. Models based primarily on geological evidence (sedimentology, structural geology, metamorphism, provenance analyses, paleobiogeography, petrogeochemistry of igneous rocks, and ophiolites) can be broadly categorized into two end-member groups: (a) Middle-Late Devonian closure mainly supported by two middle Paleozoic orogenic belts recognized near the Solonker and Hegenshan sutures as well as overlying Late Devonian unconformities (e.g.,
