yes, all the Chinese words formed by giving the characters of originally Japanese coinages Chinese readings are loanwords and they are counted as such

We have standard Sino-Vietnamese loanwords (which are the most numberous), pre-Middle Chinese loanwords and some from proto-Tai or neighbor Mon-Khmer languages. There're French loanwords too, but not many and often obsolete.

that's not what he meant. the kanji are chinese, but the compound words they form are loaned
Owen Sanders
that's what I meant, words like "革命/kakumei/géming", 科学/科學/kagaku/kèxué or 建築/kenchiku/jiànzhù.
They are sometimes called "graphic loans".

People think that Spanish has a lot of Arabic loanwords, like a lot, but not really

Everything is really really bad. I wish I could go back in time and convince Vladimir of accepting Islam, so our language wasn't polluted by all these europeisms and church slavonisms.

Pretty much any name of a modern invention is an english loanword. Contributions of the rest are fairly insignificant, ever since anything foreign got purged by Jablonskis and what not.
There's a good amount of german and russian barbarisms still in use tho.
Jordan Smith
Every language borrowed from Latin but not vice versa ;)
