The purpose of citing is, that the reader can refer to the sources you used for your text.

Imagine your user is a Chinese. He does not know English and hardly care about the numbers. Now he looks up your citation source, sees it is in English and can ask someone for a translation of that source if he really needs one.

The point here is "looks up your citation source". Is the reader able (or is it easier for him) to look up the citation source if the number is in Chinese? Obviously, so use what your reader understands.
