Yes. China is seismically active - 50 earthquakes have been recorded in or near China in the last 30 days. Western China, especially Tibet, Xinjiang and Sichuan, is highly seismic due to the India–Eurasia collision.

The most recent earthquake in China was a magnitude 4.0 event near 191 km NW of Oula Xiuma, China at a depth of 10 km.

The strongest earthquake in the recent China feed was magnitude 5.0, located in eastern Sichuan, China.

Western China, especially Tibet, Xinjiang and Sichuan, is highly seismic due to the India–Eurasia collision.

The exact yearly total depends on the magnitude threshold counted, but China's rate is reflected in its recent activity: 50 earthquakes in the last 30 days alone. Western China, especially Tibet, Xinjiang and Sichuan, is highly seismic due to the India–Eurasia collision. QuakeMate tracks every event in real time so you can see the running tally.

Major undersea earthquakes near China can trigger tsunami warnings. QuakeMate flags tsunami-capable events on the live map and in alerts; see quakemate.app/tsunamis-in/china for current tsunami risk and recent coastal activity for China.
