Of course, my arguments were mostly meant to be tongue-in-cheek - yes, clearly they look younger from our western POV. The real point is all these "investigations" the ridiculous news media is getting into are only happening because the Chinese won gold and the Americans didn't. (And if you listen to the NBC's coverage you can pick out many more examples of this type of attitude.)
If they push it too far, they will come out looking like sore losers. I think the girls were underage, but like you said, they should just let it go. Plus, if we piss them off they'll just poison more children's toys and dog food to get back at us.
