Japan says Chinese warships locked weapons radar on MSDF: Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera held a hastily arranged news conference to reveal the incidents that took place on Jan. 19 and 30, saying the ministry had just finished analyzing the radar emitted by the Chinese frigates Jiangkai I and the Jiangwei II.
After what it described as a careful study of the radar data, the ministry concluded the signals came from the Chinese ships’ fire-control systems and were aimed at the MSDF ship and helicopter. “Usually any country that owns ships like these won’t (direct the radar) of their fire-control system (on ships of another country) unless in extreme circumstances,” Onodera said. The fire-control system is used to aim a warship’s weapons, including missiles.
As dispute over islands escalates, Japan and China send fighter jets to scene: It was the first time that supersonic Chinese and Japanese military fighters were in the air together since the dispute over the islands erupted last year,

As dispute over islands escalates, Japan and China send fighter jets to scene, US breaks neutrality
As dispute over islands escalates, Japan and China send fighter jets to scene: It was the first time that supersonic Chinese and Japanese military fighters were in the air together since the dispute over the islands erupted last year,
The
comments came as Japan's coastguard said three Chinese government ships had
entered Japanese territorial waters around the islands, known as the Senkaku in
Japanese and the Diaoyu in Chinese. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on
Friday said the area around the islands in the East China Sea was under Japan's
control and therefore protected under a US security treaty with
Tokyo.
I believe China has a valid argument for the seas around the Paracels because of her geographic location but not all the China seas cutting out the countries that are in the area and have a valid argument.

This just keeps racheting up and quicker than ever. I
wonder where Russia stands in this? Remember the "incident spring 2010 with the
10 Chinese warships including destroyers and submarines off Okinawa? This put a
new light on things to me. Look at the big picture once again. Japan has got to
be rethinking their constant effort to get the US Military to leave
Okinawa.
It will behoove Japan to have us there. This puts a
whole new light on China's turn around on Iran, their monetary finagling, and
their last minute turn around on whether or not to attend the nuclear summit.
This latest row really has to have Japan rethinking.
Remember Just prior to this sudden mood and cooperation
change with the US we were being threatened for arming Taiwan, for meeting with
the Dalai lama in Washington, and threatened with slowing our economic recovery.
I fell for the line of thought that the so called experts were floating that
China realized that if we go down so do they.
Cooperation between China Russia and the US is critical and it just keeps getting worse! Obama was right to say our ties will shape the future of the 21st century. The US and China are eying each other and moving very cautiously as they try to strike a balance.
A few years back I began to view our relationship with China as the most important in the world. Not because we drove each others economy but because if at the time with Bush's instigation to war with Russia China due to the fact of how our 2 economies are so intertwined that if something happened China would side with us not Russia. I never imagined that today problems between China and Japan would be the issue.
As we discussed there have been at least four cases of groups of Chinese military ships crossing through the area of Okinawa since November 2008, first 4 ships then 6 then 8 and now 10 including destroyers and submarines. That case appeared to be the first involving surfaced submarines. The group of 10 ships, including the submarines, was observed about 90 miles (140 kilometers) southwest of Okinawa in international waters.
Two missile destroyers and three frigate ships from the same group were spotted participating in a flight exercise of carrier-based helicopters April 7-9, 20010, the Defense Ministry's Joint Staff Office said in a statement The war ships were in international waters but close to Okinawa and Japan was not notified.
That area as you may know has natural resources under the ocean and islands claimed by both Nations. It is important that we stay in Okinawa as China plays a more important role in Asia and around the world as she gains strength militarily and economically as we just discussed.

We are Taiwan's, Vietnam's, Australia's, and Japan's
protectors. As China flex's their military muscles in the area we are not
supposed to worry. Just what are we supposed to think they are going to do with
their advanced weaponry, missiles, stealth aircraft, aircraft carriers and the
like. Their threats are going to become more ominous until they cannot be
ignored and it is too late. We have been here before. The world was not supposed
to worry as Hitler built his arsenal and we know how that turned
out.
Certainly not least: As Syria's fall gets closer the
realities on the ground are that Iran is influencing and interfering everywhere
they possibly can in order to stop what they think is the US getting its way. It
has nothing to do with doing the right thing for Syria as a whole. It has
everything to do with keeping the US, the West, and Arabs from having events in
Syria go their way and not the way of Iran, Russia, China and the rest of their
allies.
This is all about the future direction and control of the entire world. We back Japan against Russia in their Island disputes. We back Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam, Australia, and anyone else in the world it seem who asks for our help in their disputes involving the China seas. Both Russia and China vow to defend their interests with ever improving military assets. We back Syrian rebels and Arab Nations against Syria,Hezbollah, Iran, Russia, and China.
World War 3 is all I see, it is only a matter of time. As we know from history wars to not get easier over the years they get more violent, and weapons get more destructive to humans and the planet. We can only hope common sense prevails in all this but there is no way!
