Additional information missing from the map in the original post: Diaoyutai/Senkakus (blue dot) are 900km from the southernmost tip of Kyushu (Japan's southernmost main island). Yonaguni is even further and is actually closer to the northernmost tip of Luzon (Philippines northernmost main island).

What does that have anything to do with anything?

I fail to understand what you are trying to imply here.
To be blunt;

So What ! !

I think it is one sign of Japan preparing to involve itself further in the SCS, on top of further militarization of the Ryukyus.

This radar and missile base poses a severe threat directly to Taiwan, the Diaoyus/Senkakus are really secondary, perhaps Taiwan should be responding in some way.

I haven't heard of the Taiwanese raise a voice over the radar site. So why should you care?
And has nothing to do with SCS so get off it.

You are surely wrong on this one for nine years.

...That perception is reinforced in light of Harris’ call to resurrect Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s 2007 proposal of a four-democracy naval convention to police the South China Sea...

That was nine years ago. This shows the motivation and intension is there long ago.

This is very fresh since late 2015. A coincident with the latest radar act in a few months? Or a follow-up of the long-time intension?

One can NOT claim innocence when the deed is done in broad day light. And let's leave the right or wrong part aside, just words and acts.

Japan's only desire in SCS is FREEDOM OF NAVIGATION since Japan has no claim nor ambition to the region.
The one who is disrupting the status quo is PRC who unilaterally made claim to the whole region as their sovereign territory which Japan cannot tolerate which is a highly utilized sea lane.
That is the reason for the 2007 statement which was targeted towards piracy which was also a big problem at the time.
If you can't see that then well I have nothing else to say since you are not going to accept fact no matter how straight forward they are.
