The technical details of radar systems are regarded as top secret by each countries. Those of Chinese are not even available to US after many years of surveillance, let alone Japan.

It is claimed to be a 'always-on alert' radar, not from fire control system.

An even more inconvenient fact is that China is more peaceful than American according to some standards.
An American institution concluded last year after some studies that, despite a series of hardware upgrade recently, Chinese army is still far behind American. Because Chinese army hasn't fought any war in last decades, while American has a non-stop line of war. Hence American officials have real life experience across all level, while Chinese officials have zero.

One problem on Japanese side, I believe, is that for 3 disputes, 3 totally different standards and logic in application:
Northern Island - compromise with Russian
Dokto Island - let ICJ decide
Diaoyu Island - let alliance fight out China
Three sets of standards invented to maximize its own benefit. None of them acceptable for the other party.

Japan said it will fire warning shot. China responded with radar lock.
China had proposed to let UN decide. What will Japan do in response?

I live in Sydney. I met a lot of people from Africa and Middle East. They all praise China for what has been done for their countries.

China is not fascist. And Japan does not represent the whole free world.

FYI: It is reported that China has referred (or tried to) the dispute to united nation for a resolution. What will Japan do in response?

Japan wants to refer Dokto dispute to ICJ, but refuses to even talk of Senkaku/Diaoyu dispute. This is clearly an application of double standard. A responsible country will not behave like that on international stage.

OssanAmerica, both nations must agree to let ICJ to handle the issue, before ICJ can do anything. Japan still refuse this route.

Economic tie so big that they can live without each other, just have a look at Apple, IBM etc.
In Afghanistan, Islamic extremists are common enemies of US and China.
While US is dominating in world stage, China only want some power sharing. Even US want China to take on more 'responsibility'. China is reluctant, it just wants to make 'more money'. Is it clear enough that China is not there to challenge US leadership?
China is not opposing US on N Korea. It is popping up N Korea so that it has a buffer zone with US. Though this is a very bad idea.

N Korea has never been Chinese security thread.
Japan has always been, and it makes itself a greater thread now by increasing defense spending aiming at China.
From 'national interest', there is little prospect that Japan and China can work together.
US and China can, because they share a lot more common interest, though they compete in many area.

There is a simple fix to the problem, just put it in front of ICJ.
Both parties are confident in their own positions, are they? Then they should be confident enough to have the matter tested in front of ICJ. The party who loses should do that gracefully.

Yeah, better than nothing.
One day apology, next day pay tribute to war criminals in the temple, then modify history book to deny massacre.
It is like stabbing you in the back, then offering some band-aid, then rubbing some salt in your wound.

Please open google map or apple map, and count how many neighbors China has.
"Why did they change their position from what they took 30 years prior?"
If you mean Senkaku/Diaoyu, then you are plain wrong. The then Chinese leader Deng Xiao Ping only admit dispute, and he was willing to leave the dispute to later generation. As Japanese is getting harder on the dispute, current generation leaders in China are no longer willing to 'leave the dispute to later generation'. Otherwise they will be labelled 'coward'.
Just to borrow the words Japanese leader thrown to Korean: If you are so confidence about your sovereignty over the islands, why aren't you willing to refer the matter to international court of justice?
Maybe, Japanese are not confident at all.
