G-2 or not G-2, who can decide?

While I personally have little understanding of the so called G-2 concept and its implications, it appears that G-2 is not necessarily just any person's like or dislike of it.

Essentially, it is no different from a bilateral relation, so the two parties can discuss the issues of common interests between them. So it is better to look at the G-2 issue in the way as it should be. Otherwise, people will get frustrated by G-2 or not G-2, won't they?
