In name specifically, there is no mention of the Chinese. But, in the Battle of Armageddon as written in Revelation, there is reference to "the kings of the East" marching on Israel to take part in Armageddon's madness. One of the nations who has borders on or near Israel's eastern border is China!

China, like much of the world, as not known to the Bible writers and so not mentioned in scriputre. It does not play an important part in the plan of salvation (the subject of the Bible), so there was no reason for God to tell people about it, or include it in the scriptures.

Why should there be any such?
If you read the account of the wise men who came to find the baby Jesus, it becomes evident that they found him when he had turned two years old.
This means that the star had been guiding them on their trip for about TWO years! How far away do you think they came from? Nobody knows! But certainly China comes to mind when you say two years! Of course that is just total speculation on what is possible and has no relation to what happened.
