Yes, they are doing "everything." Although they are also trying to boost the amount of energy that they are getting from alternatives relative to the others. It is a huge and complex country, with numerous problems and potentials. It isn't clear whether they will actually be able to successfully overcome all of the problems, but they are trying. The biggest problem of the next 40 years will probably be the water shortages in the north, as well as pollution all over. Crop yields have already begun to drop, along with water tables, even as salinization increases. They may even become net importers of food within 20 years, which would be very bad news for most of the world. China could be the great world power in 2060 or they could be another basket case.
