There are lots. I tend to write a lot but theres just too many to review in a post to be exhaustive.
I would suggest looking at the UK and OS for two reasons:
1) The program times can be shorter 3-4 years, vs 6-8 in the US.
2) You can still find options such as research doctorates that are entirely based on the production of your dissertation without coursework (taught components) and the option to do a doctorate by publication, where you essentially write and have published the major work (way more than a journal article, think a book) and then apply for the doctorate through review and defense. The shorter period of time of course reduces the cost substantially especially if youre looking at a 7+ year program in the US that is either private or would you out of state tuition/fees.
Since you expressed an interest in working in China previously, you may want to look at the number of Western Unis partnering with Eastern Unis to offer doctoral programs (taught in English).
