Biddle Coleridge believed that even people in China were watching reports of the Bell Riots in 2024. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part II")

Background
The writer's guide for Star Trek: Voyager stated that Harry Kim was of Chinese ancestry (like actor Garrett Wang who played him), but he was not an inhabitant of China -- it was later revealed that his family resided in South Carolina.
Early drafts of Star Trek: First Contact would have said that China was a leading member of the Eastern Coalition in the Third World War, but it was decided that politics didn't really matter to the story, so the lines were cut.
