The encoding was correctly specified in the XML document. The reason for 
the error was indeed the bug Oliver pointed at:

With the current version of Commons Configuration (1.2 dev) the encoding 
is recognized correctly and all Chinese characters remain untouched. 
This works even without specifiying the encoding beforehand (by calling 
setEncoding() ). However, before saving a configuration to another XML 
document the setEncoding() method still has to be called or the file 
will not be stored in the desired UTF-8.

Thanks alot for helping me so quickly.

Best wishes,
Matthias
