From the standpoint of somebody who is playing China and just looking at the states he was given, it's a sensible decision. This is the perfect opportunity for him to seize back any territory that Russia has taken from him and to expel him from China. With Russia busy in Europe and the Caucasus and partially blockaded, it's the best opportunity China is going to get to win a war against him. On top of that, Russian infrastructure is severely lacking, and actually getting armies all the way to the other side of the continent will prove even more difficult than China marching its armies northward.

This is opportunism more than anything, I think. China is risking a lot, yeah, but it also has a lot to gain. If it wins, the Emperor would probably win some major support for his reforms at home and get a lot of public support from successfully beating back a European power.
