There are lots of permutations we can go about this, but all of them should be enough for us to conclude that "a patriot system is in China" is not one of the possibilities we can entertain.
In a way it's almost not worth digging into the detail of this because it ends up giving this photo more oxygen than it deserves.

Also, there is the word, "Inert", on each canister's left side. So it is beyond a shadow of a doubt a model.

Max range of >2000 kilometers means that enemy special mission aircrafts, bombers, airlifters and tankers flying above all of Japan can be sniped from launch sites in Inner Mongolia, and that all over Taiwan + Ryukyus + the Philippines (bar Mindanao) from launch sites in Guangdong.

That's some "super-duper SAM" right there.

Though, given the stated range, it would be better if these "super-duper SAMs" have (at least some degrees of) anti-ballistic and anti-hypersonic capabilities built into them as well.

USAF Secretary Frank kendall almost confirmed this missile exist?
One of the things that China in particular is doing is reaching out to increasingly long ranges to engage our aircraft, including the ranges at which we tend to want to tank our fighters. So we’ve got to do something about the survivability of the tanker fleet and our mobility assets in general.
