The headline from Japan indicates that the current criticism from China directed towards Japan is seen as having limited impact. It seems to pertain mostly to China expressing disapproval over certain Japanese policies or actions, marking a tense moment in bilateral relations. However, the Japanese seem to perceive this as little more than posturing without substantial impact, which could indicate a sense of diplomatic resilience.

Japan and China share a long history of diplomatic relations, with periods of tension and reconciliation. Japan values its sovereignty and national integrity, yet it also understands the need for maintaining manageable relations with its powerful neighboring country. The criticisms from China stir public sentiment and have potential implications on diplomatic, economic and societal fronts, but are often seen as political dynamics rather than leading to immediate change.

In similarity to the US or EU, criticism from influential countries does raise concern, and could influence international perception. However, as democratic societies, they value freedom of speech and harbor a degree of skepticism towards foreign criticisms, particularly from authoritarian regimes. In the end, official positions may not be dramatically swayed unless domestic interests are at risk.
