Maybe not exactly scifi, but they are alternate history, and mostly set in Asia. Titles include The Warlord of the Air, The Land Leviathan, and The Steel Tsar. You can get all three and bonus material in A Nomad of the Time Streams.

Edit 1: also, Neal Stephenson's latest, Reamde, is set partly in China, partly in Canada/northwest US.

Edit 2: forgot where I was posting. There's a bonus scene in The Warlord of the Air. In that time stream Ronald Reagan is an obnoxious Scoutmaster, so much so that the narrator punches him.
