On Linux Mint 21.2 I had to install the packages
texlive-lang-chinese
texlive-xetex
fonts-arphic-ukai
(I don't keep these installed usually because of the disk space they
take up.)
I started by simply running "xetex emacs.texi" in the files you sent me.
I had an error message about nested footnotes:
(./commands.texi 章 2
! Nested footnotes not supported in texinfo.tex, even though they work in makei
nfo; sorry.
@footnote ... though they work in makeinfo; sorry}
l.49 labeled @key{Alt})@footnote
{We refer to @key{Alt} as @key{Meta} for
Inside screen.texi, which is included by emacs.texi before commands.texi,
there appears to be an unterminated footnote:
所选窗口中的光标显示大多数编辑命令生效的位置，称为 @dfn{光标}@footnote{''光标'' 来自字符 @samp{.}，这是
TECO（Emacs的编写语言）中用于访问编辑位置的命令。 许多 Emacs 命令将光标移动到缓冲区中的不同位置;例如，您可以通过单击鼠标按钮
1（通哦常是左键）将点放置在所需位置。
Supplying an extra closing brace led the rest of the input to appear in
the output "emacs.pdf".

(I just stuck the } on the end but it probably is supposed to appear earlier.)
I suspect the issue with @cite may be due to missing font files. I found
that @cite changes the font for Chinese text. For example, the output for
@cite{散文} 散文
looks as in the attached image.
By adding \XeTeXtracingfonts=1\relax to the beginning of the file, I
got the following in the log file:

Hopefully this will help you install the necessary fonts.
