Can someone check the Japanese here?

The Chinese just says "what are you doing?"

> The Chinese just says "what are you doing?"

That's what "What are you about?" means.

Not to me, at least.

"What are you about?" generally means "what do you like to do?" or "what things are you interested in?"

British tag?

Better not. It may be an idiolect or minority usage.
