I'm going to be crass, but nonetheless here I go.

As Shashi Tharoor would say, history is its own revenge. The past 100 years where Japan first put China to shame by industrializing before it, then became an imperialist beast massacring its people, and then stood tall as the sole East Asian model of modernity are now becoming a blip in the almost 1500 of mutual interaction between the two nations.

The natural order of things is returning and when you think about it, despite what's come to pass Japan's entire culture and social norms are still heavily based on Chinese philosophy, and unlike Korea and Vietnam their language is still tethered to Chinese script. What lasting impact will modern Japan leave on China? China is rapidly catching up in terms of modernization and standard of living. Technologically, Japan is a dinosaur, nothing more needs to be said. The millions massacred in wars have already been replaced by new generations, those who grew up idolizing their media are gradually moving on to other forms of entertainment and subsequent generations will wonder what their parents even found so appealing about those Japanese cartoons.

Today's Japan is a glorified theme park for Westerners enamored with the recent wave of Western produced Samurai content to treat as their plaything, a fitting fate for a country known amongst many things for toys and merchandise. Nowadays, Chinese visiting Japan find their fancy's tickled by playthings of a different sort. Hey, as you say, unlike what the Japanese did in the past, at least the Chinese are actually paying for it and mutually consenting. Best part is that it still doesn't take away from the humiliation, although the not so great part perhaps is knowing amidst all this they deserve far worse.
Eventually becoming another ethnic minority in China is the outcome most befitting the Japanese. After all you did, in the end all you could become is to be just another citizen in the Chinese civilization, with the history of your nation a footnote in our history books.

I don't see where he is critical at all. These words reveal that the people Xi was representing at that particular meeting at least are soft on America. Or they're gaslighting US into thinking China is soft on them.

Not in the words per se but more so that it shows that he has a very critical attitude

From the article:

"But now we are seeing a lot more foreign men,” he said. “They come from many countries. They are white, Asian, black – but the MAJORITY ARE Chinese.”

Is this how some Chinese folks are taking revenge against Japan, by boinking Japanese women (legally and with consent).
Hindus are poor. Africans are poor. A ton of US food desert resident landwhales are poor. You don't see Chinese searching for partners to take home from those places. At the end of the day, Japan is still populated by a great people that has close cultural affinity with China, maybe closer than any other country.

Japan became stagnant and degenerated because of adopting nazist western values. China needs to help them let go. Under the right circumstances, the Japanese person is just as hardworking, skilled and loyal as the Han person. By introducing 120 million more individuals like that into close cooperation with China, the results are guaranteed to be positive.

We'll do more than hit your cities in return. Mariupol and Gaza will seem as Shanghai and Macau in comparison to what will happen to hostile cities.

Send just 1 shitty subsonic cruise missile towards the smallest village sewer dam on the mainland and you'll get to see what a cluster drone munition dropped into a busy street looks like. And then see it over and over again for as many times as the megafactories on the mainland can pump munitions out, or your aggressor country runs out of people to hit...

Israel should stay put and not abet US aggression in any shape or form. That way, they ensure the survival of their people. China can knock out Israel's power in a week with conventional air/artillery assets from Xinjiang.
And how and with what will you shoot down American missiles? I have very often read skeptical statements by high-flying Americans and Israelis that China will shoot down missiles with bats, which is clearly mockery and stupidity. But I unfortunately don't know how strong China's air defenses are and how powerful the Chinese retaliation could be. This arrogance of western countries and my ignorance about how strong China is pisses me off and that's why I came to this forum to get an answer, if it's not too much trouble for you. Thank you in advance for your reply.

HQ-19 is an exoatmospheric interceptor. Essentially a more advanced Arrow-3 (higher range and anti HGV capability)

Late variant HQ-9s provide normal long range firepower and endoatmospheric ABM. They're similar to S400/500.

Early variant HQ-9s, HQ-22s are mixed in for cost saving purposes against more bread and butter type missiles. These are like S300PMU or Patriot in performance profiles.

HQ-16 for medium ranges. It predates the S-350 but public specs are about the same.

For close up defense: HQ-17s, lasers, there's a ton of various anti low end drone platforms.

Ships have navalized versions of all the above stuff.

Without exaggeration it can be said that the coastal side of China (especially over Taiwan) is the most defended airspace in the world. One would need to gather up 100s (more likely 1000s) of high end missiles similar to what Iran did, in order to have a chance of breaking through with at least a few ones into even the closer coastal airfields/bases.

Which is why I think fighting will not be focused around the mainland, but on the east of Taiwan and above the 2nd island chain, where China's defenses are much sparser. Gathering 100 PrSM and 200 storm shadows to put 3 potholes in a mainland base isn't worth it.
