Because Azerbaijan was part of the Soviet Union, as Red Army soldiers many Azeris went to China during the cold war to provide the Chinese Army with military training. However after the sino-soviet split this trend discountinued. I would say there is probably about 1000 or so Azeris in China. But most of the probably only speak Russian. Most Azeris in China might not even know how to speak Azeri and simply say that they are Soviets.

They would not say they are Soviets as the Soviet Union has not existed for two decades. These Azeris may call themselves Azeris, Russians, Caucasians or Turkic peoples.
