Not entirely shocking. Chinese/Russian/other IPs port scan for services running on non-standard listening ports all the time.
Often times these compromised PCs acting as part of a botnet looking to break into stuff. IE; if you're running a vulnerable FTP server for example, and they discover it on one of the ports when they get the right reply, they'll just compromise the FTP server, or get root access to the machine through an exploit on the FTP server, etc. Same with SSH servers with nothing to stop bruteforcing, etc...
If you are freaking out about someone connecting your machine in any capacity, consider how many people type 'Google.com' into their web browser and connect to those machines serving up your request. Just because someone is connecting to your machine doesn't mean they have administrative rights to it.
That's not to say you don't need to be careful, but generally if someone connects to your EQEmu server and it's set up properly it won't affect anything else on your network.
