Its cannon that the 4 horsemen have concentrated on north america, and 
with that in mind I have always pictured that the rest of the world is 
pretty much running on tract since only the Big four equestrian's efforts 
have made major changes in the timeline, but as always do what you want 
to in your own game.
In China I would guess that the reconing woke up some old spirits, 
created some new ones, and that oprotunistics powers did thier best to 
make the rebellion a darker, even more violent conflict, but the dark 
powers enjoying the fear generated by the conflict lacked the sheer power 
and team effort of the horsemen.
In modern china I would see the war over but with fanatical cells of the 
rebellion still causeing trouble while being urged on by seperate manitou 
and terrors each working on their own.
