Anyways I'm not quite sure if its the KJ-200 with the static phased array radar that crashed or the KJ-2000 with the roto-dome radar that crashed.

Well.. that's an interesting read, however unless the chinese were incorporating american hardware/software into the core flight control systems, they could never contribute to a crash.

Israeli? What do they have against the chinese?
Can you give a source on that and the other instances where the US etc. have been suspected of sabotaging chinese interests?

Sabotage my right butt-cheek! The Chinese are always making excuses when they FAIL.
That's because in their culture they must "save face".
Look at the airplane itself. It looks like something designed in the 1960's. I doubt the electronics/avionics suite was much better.
