It takes place in the year:
We know this because the July 1997 AD prologue is followed quickly by a time and place setting title card that reads "AMERICA Two months later". So the story's main action starts in September of 1997 AD. It also ends just a matter of days (or, at most, a full week) later.

7.1997 + 2 months = 9.1997.
Additionally, there is a prologue that opens with its own time and place setting title card: "HONG KONG Last day of British rule". This happened in the real world and the famous hand-over took effect at midnight on July 1st, 1997.
