If you both domiciled in California, regardless of your immigration status, the chinese divorce will not be recognized in this state. Within the six months judicial cooling period you would be still considered married according to California law.
California Family Code 2091: A divorce obtained in another jurisdiction shall be of no
force or effect in this state if both parties to the marriage were domiciled in this state at the time the proceeding for the divorce was commenced.
Of course you can argue the meaning of word "domicile", but it will not be in the divorce action but much later in life.
