Should India support Japan in its dispute with China?

A month long Talk war is going on between the two Asian superpowers, China and Japan over five small islands covering less than 4sq miles. China has claimed it to be their 'sacred territory' and the talks concerning the territorial dispute between the two nations seems to be moving towards wrong direction and there seems to be very less chance of the dispute getting over. There is a huge protest going on by the Japanese people in China and even the Japanese automobile companies like Nissan, Suzuki and Toyota Motor Corp have stopped manufacturing automobiles in China.

In my view, India should support Japan in the ongoing dispute with China as there has been a friendly relation with Japan since a long time. Moreover, seeing the strategic relation with China, like United States, India should also support Japan. What are your views?

I also think that India should go ahead and support Japan because China is also into occupying Indian territory without its rights over the land. We should not support such a country whose actions are not just. Supporting Japan at this point of time will further strengthen India-Japan ties.

I agree that India should support Japan and further strengthen the friendly relation with Japan. Moreover, China always tried to occupy India and after this India has no reason to support such a nation. Japan has always been a friendly nation and India should support such a nation who has no interest over the Land of India.
