It is easy to understand that there is no fair argument in a weak country, and no other country in a weak country is willing to engage in diplomatic activities with you. If you are a person with no chips and no ability, and no one is willing to negotiate with you, everyone will ignore your existence and refuse to associate with you.
The most representative of this is the modern China society. The absence of diplomacy by a weak country does not mean that a small country cannot establish diplomatic relations with other countries, but cannot play an important role in foreign affairs.

Lu Zhengxiang, a former foreign minister and prime minister of Beiyang government, signed "Article 21" with Japan under the pressure of Yuan Shikai, and was labeled as a traitor from then on. However, in the days after the big mistake, Lu Zhengxiang embarked on a long road of repentance with a strong sense of guilt.
1On April 26th, 926, he resigned as China's ambassador to Switzerland and soon became a monk in St. Anthony's monastery in Bruges. From then on, he became a priest. However, the motherland has never been forgotten in his mind. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, China, he used local newspapers to deliver speeches in various places, introduced the bloody battles of China's soldiers and civilians, and called on the people of European countries to support China's war of resistance. He also resisted the Nazi occupation of Belgium by preaching, and was once blacklisted by the Gestapo.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he once again expressed his remorse for signing Article 21 to the people of China, congratulated the motherland for revenge, and sincerely hoped that the country would embark on the road of rejuvenation.
