David Wingrove did a projected 9 book series set in a future world dominated by China. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chung_Kuo

Supposedly, Corvus/Atlantic books are planning to re-release the entire series in 2011.

William Keith's "Warstrider" series takes place in a future in which Japan dominates Earth, and a group of colonists descended from North Americans in a distant system rebel against the empire. Keith has broader territory in mind, as the protagonists must first deal with unfriendly aliens, then forge an uneasy alliance with the empire to face a machine civilization unfriendly to organic life. Keith has come up with some of the weirdest aliens I've seen in SF, like the Xenos, which live in the crust of planets, one per planet, divide the world into rock and not-rock, and are unaware any life other than them exists.
