Common collocates include '施加压力' (to exert pressure) and '施压谈判' (pressure negotiation).
施压 is not currently listed in the HSK vocabulary, but learners at HSK 4 and above should focus on understanding how it relates to negotiation and influence, connecting it with words like '影响' (influence) and '交流' (communication).
