Pretty much. The fact a lot of japanese support her means it's not just a government problem but a people problem. Therefore China should have no issues taking measures that hurt Japanese citizens since they enable such stuff to happen.Diplomatic gesture means nothing when Japan do not respect China at a slightest. China has complained about the shrine for years. The only way to make Japan behave is by force.
As a democracy (even though it's just a one party one), people are held fully accountable for all it's government actions.
