This hawkish woman would never change, caveat if the other person is Donald Trump. Her hostility against China would be her downfall if she thinks she can mess around with Xi and China. She is the first Japanese PM elect that China did not send a congratulatory message. She made a few gestures that she wanted good relations with China. But in her first meeting with Xi, she gaffed. She thinks Japan is still the Imperial power of WW2 and raised the issue of Xinjiang and South China Sea. Xi rebuffed her by telling her to reflect and understand China better.
Takaichi has no reason to talk about Xinjiang and South China Sea unless she wanted to provoke China. And that was what she did. She might not be given a second chance to meet up with Xi in the rest of her term as PM. Who or what is Japan, to talk about an American vicious lie about Xinjiang? It is none of her business, none of Japan's business. Japan wants to meddle in the South China Sea?
China should prepare a standard and equally provocative reply to troublemakers and Mickey Mouse that want to provoke and irritate China. In the case of Japan, just reply that China is concerned with Japan's status as a colony of the Americans, the independence of Ryukyu Islands, Japan's violation of Chinese sovereignty at the Diaoyu Islands, Japan's massacre records in WW2 and blood debt to China, etc.
When silly troublemakers insist on provoking China with silly issues, China need not be nice to them. Any silly country talking about China's domestic issues intends to provoke China or under instruction from the Americans. Just slap them straight in the face. This is the only way to stop the troublemakers. Better still, do not allow them into China, do not waste time meeting them. This approach must be standard to all the European, Asian and SE Asian Mickey Mouse.
In the latest meeting with Trump, Trump was at his best, polite, friendly and courteous to Xi. This is what mutual respect is all about.
China's foreign policy must be firm and clear. No foreigner is allowed to raise silly issues like Xinjiang, Tibet, Taiwan, human rights etc etc. These are China's domestic matters, none of their business. Let the world knows that these are out of bounds and they will be whacked when crossed. China must not behave like Ah Q again and let Mickey Mouse shit all over its head and afraid to hit back.

As I said before, Japan is the most dangerous enemy for China. History tells us much about Japanese character. Like the UK, Japan is still aiming to rise to its past glory, when it was trying to conquer the whole of Asia and rule the East under its Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere of Influence, even signing the Axis of Power pact that saw Hitler's Germany attempting to rule over Europe together with Italy.
Earlier in 1900, Japan also joined the Eight Nations Alliance, comprising Germany, Italy, Russia, Britain, France, USA and Austria, trying to break up China and divide the country into concessions to be ruled by them. The Chinese did not subjugate, and the rest is history. Fighting the eight nations was no easy task, but China did not give up, just like Russia now facing the whole of Western Europe plus Canada and USA.
Japan's preoccupation with taking control of China in 1937 also resulted in the Nanjing Massacre, a blood debt that is still not settled. Japan is poking the Dragon and asking for trouble.
I do not expect Japan and China to have good relations going forward, especially with the troublemaker, the USA, behind dictating its agenda. For the Chinese, the best-case scenario is to be prepared, as Japan has exposed it sneakiness during WW2 by attacking the Pearl Harbor and taking the USA by surprise.
