The Post-Second Impact world |
China was badly damaged, as was much of the rest of the world, by the events of Second Impact. It is never directly mentioned how well China survived Second Impact, but at the least it has recovered to the point that a set of Magi supercomputers is located in Beijing. It is unknown if this means that there was a full Nerv "branch base" in Beijing. In Episode 07, while on a plane a Chinese agent discusses with Gendo Ikari the construction of future Evangelions, and says that his country will aid in the construction of Eva-08. Thus it is possible that another branch base, or at least a prominent Nerv facility, was located in Beijing.
The Chinese agent told Gendo that China would take part in the production of the Evangelions "starting" with Eva-08, so its probable that China produced more than one of the Mass Production Evangelions.
Further, in Episode 22, Makato Hyuga told Misato Katsuragi that he obtained the secret information that construction had begun on the MP Evas from a contact in Shanghai.
