The "Chinese" is as superfluous in "Chinese baijiu" as "Mexican" would be in "Mexican tequila". If it's not Chinese we won't use the Chinese word "baijiu" to describe it. We might call it "rice wine" or "white alcohol" or somesuch.
Also "Baijiu" is not a proper noun and should not be capitalized.

The translation here is inaccurate and a lot of assumption. Then is close enough good enough? This last of consistency is bad.
