Try Vangelis' 1979 album "China". In particular the tracks Chung Kuo, The Tao of Love and Himalaya.

I would say check out Karsh Kale, MIDIval Punditz, Anoushka Shankar's new album Rise is good. DJ Cheb i Sabbah.. and mentioned above Nitin Sawhney and Talvin Singh are big on the scene as well. I would recommend looking at IndianElectronica as well as EthnoTechno for a whole load of artists with Asian influences..

the break down on this track sounds like it is very strongly influenced by a Chinese cultural music sound.
Also one of my personal all time favs.
