They prob will - but nowhere on an agenda right now. They "appear" to be kinda immature when it comes to sustainability but *very* keen to learn and pick up as much data as possible.
Had a friend who completed a contract with the Chinese govt last year on usage of resources. He ended up with a team of "watchers" interested in learning how to manage resources.
Even small changes mean significant ripples simply because of the population size. Example.. China now has vacation time
That means they have to find someplace to have vacations and one project was a resort complex around a massive lake and the plan was to have 3 million Chinese people on a vacation in this lake area. The only missing elements were the lake was frozen over six months of the year and in real life, left a gap of three months in which they expected to handle 3 million people.
The other small detail overlooked was sewage - and this was going to end up in the lake and kill off all species and totally contaminate the rivers flowing from the lake. 3 mill people kinda shit a bit
But.. they are definately keen to learn and already have high educational standards - so little doubts they will resolve problems - and possibly counter oil issues.
