where to begin...

well, what's relevant for firefly is that apparently china was a big enough influencer as humans colonized space that they speak mandarin but there are no chinese characters. that's a start.

Of all things, that's where you start? That's so miniscule. I think Joss and the other writers themselves forgot most of the time that China was supposedly a big influence for all that we saw of it. It was mentioned a couple times and that was it, it wasn't like we constantly saw Chinese aesthetics on the show and they really don't speak Mandarin except for the occasional swear. It was a throwaway idea.

However, I always thought Simon and River were at least half Asian because of their looks and last name, but that had nothing to do with the supposed Chinese influence, I just thought that's what they happened to be.
