Actually there was an interesting take on this today from the Ex Aussie PM (I think it was) Malcolm Turnbull.
Who said that until recently China had pursued the line of aggressive negotiation and stamping on countries that didn't align with their view of trade and the world.
Australia copped a great deal of that flack.
Wolf Warrior diplomacy.
However it hasn't worked out as they expected when countries like Australia and Vietnam told them to sling their hook.
They have since started a period of a more agreeable diplomacy, especially as their economy is on the brink and Russia has been a good barometer of the capabilities of their military kit.
So James Cleverly has seen an opportunity in the thawing of relations to hopefully make some beneficial changes.
It would appear the US has done the same.
So its not all as we are led to believe, there is a bigger picture going on.
