China Earthquake time intervals have been calculated and passed the hypothesis test based on Weibull distribution. Comparative analyses have been carried out with China Earthquake Catalogue according to different time intervals and different zones. From the results, we can see that the shape parameters are enlarged with the year’s extrapolation.
