Japanese are known for ethnocentric mindset. This gives an opportunity for a quick collective decision, even in a strong democratic pattern of society. The sudden about-turn of Japan for not joining RCEP without India is a case in point. It puzzled the whole world and put Indian negotiators in confusion. The observers were agog as what made Japan dragging its feet . Even in the last round of negotiation in Vietnam, not a slightest indication was made by Japan when India was dilly-dallying in joining the block.
