Sovereignty over a territory requires that you be able to adequately defend it. Just because something was taken from you and that nation was defeated later on by someone else doesn't entitle you to get your stuff back. Legally, this is probably why China doesn't want to go to the courts - it's just a case of butthurt sovereignty fail. Of course diplomatic wrangling may give it a much more favourable outcome given its growing influence. No one wants another world war. So give them back the Rhineland. Czechoslovakia too? Fine. Fuck we all know where that leads. Quite the tricky situation. Can't just appease them but can't afford to seriously piss them off either.
