"It's like the Israelis having a fit because the Germans want to be on the security council."

That is the political aspect of it. China is on the Security Council because Taiwan got booted off in favor of mainland China. That strengthens their claim on being the natural leader of the region. Putting Japan on the SC weakens it.

As far as nursing grudges from 60+ years ago, that can go on for a long time, especially if the government encourages it. In the US, the South nursed a grudge against the North up until there started to be real economic development starting roughly in the 1960s and 1970s.
