What are these? And if pests, how do I get rid of them?

It looks like aphid.

Rinse plant in cold water or spray soap water is usually enough.

Ok update: I've been watching them a bit and they don't seem to be moving... What the heck?

Just to be sure I've sprayed a bit of soapy water over the leaves like the first comment suggested. I'm not sure what's going on.

Those are not the aphids themselves but the molted skins of the nymphs. The aphids are elsewhere on the plant. Likely small and green.

Submerge the entire plant in water for a few hours as a drastic course of action.

If I remember correct they’ll move if you heat them up, for example if you put the tree in the sun.

If I'm not mistaken, this is a Chinese Pepper tree, but I could be mistaken because it was unlabeled.
