Is this quote from your forum somewhere, and if so, any chance of a direct link? This is of course what I would expect, but as you note, it's hard to get the information.
It's also to be noted that the Chinese government could use the resentment to rally sentiment against an outside enemy, namely the US in this case. That would give it more freedom to take military action, though they'd still be limited by their military weakness.
