The Eastern Pot is already quite troubled and irritated over the matter of whether Liu Zhizhong will visit or not.
Although an invitation was extended, Liu Zhizhong did not accept, leaving the Eastern Pot rather humiliated.
Adding to this, the Eastern Pot has faced off with the Wale Republic in diplomatic and economic fields several times, suffering humiliating defeats.
The more Liu Zhizhong delays, the more upset the Eastern Pot becomes, yet remains helpless.
However, the Eastern Pot cannot lower its proud stature; a leader proactively visiting the Wale Republic would be an enormous disgrace for them.
Therefore, the longer the delay, the more humiliating it becomes, especially for the Eastern Pot.
Nonetheless, despite the embarrassment, they still aim to win, at least rhetorically.
They can't possibly announce cutting off diplomatic ties with the Wale Republic, can they?
