Something I noticed about westoids. When China was weak there was no request or talking. They kept threatening China or taking whatever action.
Now China is stronger and they can't do that anymore, they suddenly wanna talk or make "requests".
The time to do that was years ago. Now you don't hold any cards to make such "requests" or "demands". Trying to hear them talk down in a condescending tone now gives a similar feel to jai hinds.
At the end of the day hard power or bargaining power is the first step in negotiation.
This would be the bargaining stage of grief.
