Its different nature. The UK know how to run the steel plants by themselves and they know how to use lawfare very well. In fact they were probably doing it before the US was even born.
Indonesians don't know how to run the stuff by themselves (esp when it involves a lot of advanced stuff from China) and they don't really know how to use lawfare well either. A lot of people don't know themselves nor do they know their opponent properly therefore failing Sun Tzu 101.
China isn't as experienced in lawfare as the west but it learns fast. It also is capable of creating lawyers.
