The technology capability which are real-time earthquake monitoring and the processing system that is crucial to be able providing the international standard of tsunami warning services in the SCS and its adjacent areas. This paper briefly reviewed on the initiation steps and its developments of the South China Sea region Tsunami Warning and Mitigation Systems, tectonic setting as well as the characteristics of historical earthquakes and tsunamis in the region. In addition, we highlighted the structure and basic functions of the earthquake monitoring and processing system, earthquake location, source mechanism solution and finite fault model inversion using the real-time seismic waveform data from regional and global seismographic networks that will result in the rapid source parameters estimation for a larger earthquake in tsunami warning. Numerous simulations and hands-on events have
