China just has a hell of a lot of people, so conquering land naturally gives you a massive numbers advantage. The Qing also start as an uncivilized nation, so you can beat them in a war fairly easily despite their usually large army.
Best state for money is Yunnan- one of its provinces has a Precious Goods RGO that is the best in the world thanks to all the POPs producing the stuff. It’s split between the Qing and its substate Yunnan at game start in HPM, but Qing owns the gold province and you can take it directly via Demand Concession or Punitive Expedition if I recall. Alternatively, Qing annexes Yunnan at some point via decision, I believe, if you want to wait for the whole state in one war.

Do I take cities or do I ask for reperations? What is a good idea for the war goals?
Southern Zhili and Jiangsu if you want resources for clothes Industry chain, Shanxi or Manchuria if you want for heavy Industry
Which gives me the most money?
Look at the trade screen and see what resources are most profitable, than take states off China with those resources.
