 do not overestimate lip service  
 Indeed. It is certainly being used to power the Beijing agenda in a form of centrally dictated populism, so not all of it is genuine, and I personally do not believe that Chinese people in general hold a grudge against Westerners.

We shall see where it leads in time. 
 yes, as a people in china, we don't hate anyone.

but some people is misleaded by CCP, hate some west country... 
 if it really is about a grudge they'd be smart about it, arguably the nation-state that has taken the most from China throughout the years would be Russia, not any of the Western Powers  🤷  (I.e. Treaty of Aigun, Peking, etc)
