Does that mean what we think it means, though? Does that include people of Chinese descent who are Japanese citizens (who, as the author points out, are considered "Japanese" for statistical purposes), or (as I suspect) it only includes non-citizen Chinese people?

Yes. It does not include non-Japanese passport holding Chinese.
