The situation in Pakistan has suddenly changed again, in the face of the pakistani opposition and the United States, the situation of pro-China Prime Minister Imran Khan is very serious, once the motion of no confidence against him is passed, pakistan's National Assembly will elect a new prime minister, which means that the current regime in Pakistan will be completely subverted, and the Pakistani opposition and the United States are likely to support a pro-American prime minister to come to power.

Imran Khan has a hard time! Pakistan's opposition has joined forces with the United States to prop up pro-American factions in power?

On April 7, according to Pakistan's "Dawn" newspaper, Pakistan's Supreme Court ruled that the decision of Qasim Suri, deputy speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan, to veto the motion of no confidence in the prime minister by the opposition coalition was unconstitutional and had no legal effect, so it was abolished, and Pakistan restored the national assembly and cabinet, and will convene the national assembly at 10:30 local time on the 9th to vote on the current prime minister's motion of no confidence. Once the motion is passed, Pakistan's National Assembly will elect a new prime minister.

On the surface, this is only a partisan struggle within neighboring countries, although Pakistan is a country with close relations with China, and the current Prime Minister Imran Khan is also quite pro-China, but the motion of no confidence belongs to Pakistan's internal affairs, and the Chinese side has made it clear that China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, and sincerely hopes that all parties in Pakistan will maintain unity and jointly safeguard the overall situation of national development and stability.

However, not all major countries are as "obedient" as China, and the United States is well versed in the way of "subverting the regimes of other countries", and this time the infighting in Pakistan's political arena is actually planned by the United States behind the scenes.

On the evening of April 8, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan delivered a national televised speech, this time imran Khan did not give the United States any face, directly announced in public: "The United States has joined forces with opposition parties to overthrow the Pakistani regime, and it will fight for Pakistan until the last moment." ”

The pro-China prime minister spoke on television and directly tore his face with the United States. In his public speech on March 31, Imran Khan only said that "overseas forces" were trying to overthrow the current government, leaving the United States with three thin faces. However, after the National Assembly vetoed a motion of no confidence against Imran Khan, the United States and the opposition coalition remained undeterred and launched Pakistan's Supreme Court to annul the Decision of the National Assembly. Since the United States has hardened its heart to clean up its own, Imran Khan has no need to be merciful and directly exposes the face of the United States to the world.

According to Chowdhury, Pakistan's Minister of Press and Broadcasting, the government has decided to submit a "threatening letter" from the United States to the National Assembly and is ready to set up a special committee to investigate the matter.

The threatening letter quoted U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Donald Lue's remarks to Pakistan's ambassador to the United States, who claimed that if a no-confidence motion against Imran Khan was passed and the current government was overthrown, Pakistan would be forgiven by the United States; conversely, if Imran Khan stepped down, Pakistan would face serious consequences.

In short, the United States has thoroughly made it clear: if the pro-China prime minister is not down, Pakistan will wait to be taken over. Being able to nakedly interfere in the fate of the heads of state of other countries, no other country in the world but the United States dares to do so.

Of course, the United States must also maintain a positive image of "liberal democracy", and all unseemly means must be left clean. In the face of Pakistan's accusations, the US side quickly vetoed it, and US State Department spokesman Price said: The United States has always maintained recognition and respect for Pakistan's constitution and legal system, and has never taken similar actions.

But is it really irrelevant to the United States? Imran Khan has a briefing note that documents recordings of Washington officials claiming that U.S.-Pakistan relations can only be eased if Imran Khan steps down. And from Ukraine to Syria to the riots in Kazakhstan at the beginning of this year, there are US black hands behind the scenes, and the US side now dares to say that it has never done similar actions, just like the absurdity of a former criminal bandit claiming that he obeys the law.

But Pakistan is still nominally an ally of the United States in counterterrorism, so why should the United States risk the rupture of U.S.-Pakistan relations to oust Imran Khan? Simply put, Pakistan's value to the United States has been greatly reduced, and Imran Khan has been "too disobedient".

After the Soviet Union launched a war to invade Afghanistan in 1979, Pakistan became an important transit base and personnel training base for U.S. aid to Afghan guerrillas, and U.S.-Pakistani relations entered a honeymoon period, and the United States sold many advanced weapons to Pakistan, including F16 fighter jets. After the United States launched a war against Afghanistan in 2001, Pakistan once again relied on its geographical advantages to become an important anti-terrorism base for the United States, and the United States needed to use Pakistan's military base to launch a strike against the Taliban forces in Afghanistan, so even if Pakistan has a closer relationship with China, the United States can "tolerate it."

However, after the official end of the war in Afghanistan in 2021 and the withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan, Pakistan lost its role in counter-terrorism, which is a chicken rib for the strategic value of the United States, in fact, as early as 2017, the United States began to suspend military assistance to Pakistan. Pakistan, which is "useless", is no longer an "ally" of the United States, and Pakistan has a close relationship with China, which makes Pakistan's identity from an "ally" to a "potential enemy".

What makes the United States even more dissatisfied is that pakistan's current prime minister is not only pro-China, but also "very disobedient." Imran Khan stepped up his cooperation with China after becoming Pakistan's prime minister, and in recent years, Pakistan has imported a large number of Chinese weapons and equipment, such as VT-4 tanks, Hongqi 9 anti-aircraft missiles, 054AP frigates and J-10 fighter jets.

In 2021, Imran Khan said in an interview with the US media that in the future, military bases will no longer be opened to the United States, and Pakistan will never allow a US military presence. At the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian War, Imran Khan did not cancel his plan to visit Russia despite warnings from the United States, and then Pakistan announced that it would import 2 million tons of wheat from Russia and buy natural gas. This kind of confrontation with the United States naturally put Imran Khan into the "blacklist" of the United States. By the end of March, pakistan's opposition had already begun to act, and it had to be said that the United States had been very efficient in "subverting the regimes of other countries".

Faced with the combined attack of the Pakistani opposition coalition and the United States, Imran Khan now has no way back. It is conceivable that if Imran Khan survives this crisis in power, Pakistan and the United States will be completely married, and the ultimate goal of the United States: to bring a pro-American regime to power. At present, it seems unrealistic, pakistan's strong pro-China atmosphere will make the so-called pro-US regime unsatisfied, and the United States has been wooing India, Pakistan is full of doubts about the United States, even if the United States is willing to drive out Imran Khan, will the next one really "obey"?
