Polish translation:Potrzebował przeciwwagi / wsparcia przy stole negocjacyjnym
Explanation:
While China’s economic growth has been one of the most important contributors to regional growth and security over the last 20 years, it has also demonstrated an interest in using its new economic and military power to redefine its role in Asia. Specifically, China continues to challenge its near neighbors in the East and South China Seas, and test India along their shared land border. Asians want the United States and other large countries involved in regional bodies to bring global standards and geopolitical ballast to the bargaining table to convince China that its road to power and prosperity will be paved by rule of law.

The Tsipras government had been a touch cheeky calling a referendum on the issue, if only to add ballast to the bargaining table over bailout - https://goo.gl/mOudA0
