Just means they are going to do it anyway, and anyone who complains can get stuffed.Japan's neighbor seems to be tired of handling diplomacy recently.
They have not changed their plan so quickly.
China withdraws report of plans to send gas mining ships to East China Sea
China withdraws report of plans to send gas mining ships to East China Sea | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News
China has reported to Japan that it withdrew an earlier announcement mistakenly made by its Maritime Safety Administration.www3.nhk.or.jp
I am afraid that an agreement with China is not worth the paper it was written on.There is an agreement on Japan-China Joint Development in the East China Sea confirmed between Japan and China in 2008.
Development itself has no problem as long as both countries keep contacts.

The "retro-reflector" principle is also used as a passive radar beacon in liferafts and other places.I remember that I had been fascinated with this laser light reflector which was set on the moon by Apollo 11 fifty years ago to return the beam to the sender in whichever angle it might be. I thought this was a genius's idea because the future laser weapon would not be almighty by this.

Apollo astronauts left trash, mementos and experiments on the moon
Here’s what planetary scientists are learning from the remains of Apollo outposts, and how archeologists hope to preserve it.www.sciencenews.org
At some monstrous power density, the laser literally burns a hole in the atmosphere; the next pulse goes right on through. It only happens in gigawat pulse lasers of appropriate wavelength, though.Having spent several years working on high energy laser weapons, I urge everyone to remember the effects on their effectiveness resulting from clouds, rain, snow, fog, sea spray, smoke... It's hard to think of another type of weapon that wouldn't be instantly dropped from consideration if it had similarly severe degradation by so many common environmental factors.
Actually, when the power density gets above a certain level (depending on altitude, humidity and all sorts of other things) the atmosphere incandesces into a plasma that blocks further propagation of the beam.At some monstrous power density, the laser literally burns a hole in the atmosphere; the next pulse goes right on through.

Further discussion gets into classified territory...Actually, when the power density gets above a certain level (depending on altitude, humidity and all sorts of other things) the atmosphere incandesces into a plasma that blocks further propagation of the beam.
