China will never become a leader of environmental-friendly products as long as its main goal is to pursue profits, profits, and did I mention profits!

However, CHina might face an energy crisis of such proportions that it will be FORCED to develop new enegy efficient sources - but I think China will continue to establish 'deals' (similar to the US Foreign policy) with middle eastern nations (and other OPEC partners) until the last oil-well has been emptied out. the way forward, for a green evolution, is for government sponsored programs as we have seen in Japan, Denmark and Holland!!!

Cheers!
