This is, then, ultimately against the government's interests and thus it is suppressed. The CCP would be completely okay with the torching of Japanese property if it wasn't against the state's economic/diplomatic interests (arguably such property would not even exist if it was against the state's interest).

So let's stop saying the CCP will suppress "pro government" speech.

The CCP is afraid of any unsanctioned collective action, even if that action is aligned with CCP policies. They don't want alternative power structures to arise which might challenge their authority in the future.
