Japan started construction of a military radar station on Yonaguni Island, one of the most remote of all the Japanese western islands. It is, however, close to the disputed Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands, and China is not pleased at what it regards as a military provocation.

A radar station is clearly a defensive military asset, but the Chinese consider the move as designed to bolster Japan’s claim to the disputed islands nearby.
