As Metric said in my earlier linked post, you only exist within a certain area of space-time, and birth and death are just some of the boundaries. I never lived in China, the same way I never lived in 1927, the same way I never lived on Mars, the same way I never lived in 3011.

This reminds me of Slaughter House 5. Are you a Tralfamadorian, or whatever they were called?

They were an alien race that, if I recall correctly, travel through time in a similar manner to the way we can walk across the room. Time was just another dimension that they could pass through at will. Good book.

I've experienced similar fears, but I tend not to reason through them, they just subside after a while. It seems like a fairly normal and unavoidable idea. But you can't do anything about it anyways, so what's it matter?
