Im not sure I agree to be honest; indeed it looks like salvaging the situation rather than diplomacy.
I would tend to agree, but I guess my definition of diplomacy includes salvaging situations. My kind of diplomacy isn't all roses and puppies.
Half my family is Asian (though not Japanese), I have a personal interest in Japanese culture and I'm generally aware of the cultural differences between East and West. Irrespective, I still would not sit tight in a meeting and smile while someone passes off my work as their own, regardless of how much face is at stake. I wouldn't much enjoy living with myself after such an episode.
