The issue between Japan and China is somewhat tricky, I don't see how India will benefits from this issue. Lets get thing straight before passionate wannabes distort my post.
1. India is definitely a force to be reckoned with in the region, with a population of a Billion plus a reasonably economy and a sizable arsenal achieved over the years going head on with India is no walk in the park for any country, the same is said if US goes head on with China.
2. This is not a good vs bad thing, history is peppered with strong vs the weak. There are reasons why predator drones kill innocents while the relatives can only shake their fist in frustration. The US has a motive for wanted to stay involved in this being a world policeman but motives do get set aside sometimes pending priorities. (just like how Georgia was abandoned).
Moving on
If we talk about strength China and US is definitely on the edge here, China will have the advantage in both geographic distance (maybe this is where US would need India's assistance) and manufacturing capability.
Not forgetting during WWII Japan and Germany shared something similar which was a huge industrial manufacturing capability which allowed for rapid rearming. Interestingly enough most of today's high tech weapons cannot be made without a made in China component, and these weapons are definitely more finicky (needs more parts) than the weapons in WWII
The real balance changer will be if China can rope in countries with similar disputes with Japan. The most likely country to join China would be Russia, if the balance changed to Russia, China against Japan, US, India would probably even things out
With Russia's resources and China's manufacturing abilities now that's a serious force with be reckoned with. With Russia's involvement EU and US will probably back down (they done it before), and where would that leave India? Hence in my opinion India should just stay on the sidelines for this.
That said I believe this whole saga will be mostly battle of words/water canons
