The entire premise of Fallout is that the USA got destroyed in the cold war and China won the war, instead of China getting bombed to shit and the US winning.
That's why Fallout takes place in the US.
The whole world got destroyed. China, USA, USSR, everything. The premise of fallout is to celebrate 50's pop sci-fi in a post apocalyptic world.
From the FalloutWikia:
It is not known who launched the first nuclear weapon that precipitated the conflict. President Richardson would tell the Chosen One that China launched first, but he is hardly an objective source of information. Leftover log entries within Black Mountain Radio would also seem to imply the initial launches were by China, with the United States retaliating in only a handful of minutes. (See behind the scenes)
The nuclear exchange that characterized the Great War lasted for only a brief two hours, but was unbelievably destructive and reshaped the climate of the world even as it caused the fall of most of human civilization everywhere across the globe. More energy was released in the first moments of the Great War than all of the previous human conflicts in the history of the world combined. Entire mountain ranges were created as the ground buckled and moved under the strain of the cataclysmic pressure produced by numerous, concentrated atomic explosions. Rivers and oceans around the world were contaminated with the resulting radioactive fallout released by the relatively low-yield nuclear weapons used by all sides, and the climate changed horrifically. All the regions of the Earth suffered from a single, permanent season once the initial dust blasted into the atmosphere by the nuclear explosions had settled - a scorching, radioactive desert summer.
