Possible tsunami following a 7.8-magnitude earthquake in South Island of New Zealand will not cause disastrous effects along China's coast, said the State Oceanic Administration (SOA) on Sunday night.
The tsunami warning center of the SOA will continue to track and analyze data on the earthquake and tsunami, said Yuan Ye, duty officer of the center.
Yuan said the center will not issue follow-up information if there is no important changes in monitoring data and forecast conclusions.
