There was a major march a few days ago. It is just that MSM isn't reporting anything. There is a media blackout of Pakistan political upheaval. I guess the rumor that the coup is supported by the West has some merit.

Yeah, I figured that there was a media blackout to some extent. I'm guessing he still hasn't been able to do much?

It's been a while since Imran Khan got ousted, has there been any significant developments on that situation?

No

I heard he was going to do a march on the capital, but I don't think I've heard anything about it yet.

He can't do anything. This was a foreign-instigated coup. I have also heard that they pulled the security detail from him. I wouldn't be surprised if IK was killed/assassinated in the coming months

Is it worth opening a thread on the China-Pakistan strategic partnership? Can someone do it (I am a bit busy, but very interested)?

A question on captured USA and Foreign adversary forces in a future 2035-40 war. Due to the probable placement of forces on islands as well as bases in host nations japan korea etc which could be cut off from naval support and air evacuation how would china deal with a potentially large amount of surrendered forces? Not only would china be dealing with hostile troops but a potentially hostile public populace as china after a victory could not let western forces gain a foothold anywhere in the region . How would china deal with this massive issue of internal and external policing? I assume this would require sone sort of economic marshal plan or belt and road plus integration system to solve the issue

China has PAP.

Moreover, it has had experience in having prisoners of war before (such as in the korean war).

Also, China unlikely to actually occupy large areas of say Japan and also Korea if they join in the fight.

can uhh someone delete my double post ? Sorry

I was figuring for sk and japan china would need to engage in destructio of command capacity and some of the political structure which would require a limited ground engagement. The bigger issue eould be US bases doting both countries with us troops which would have to be defeated and prevented from rebuilding operational capacity . I see the approach to the american populace as being key as well . So long as americans are willing to burn cash and lives out of rage and spite the war wont end .

Back to your answer so the peoples armed police would be tasked with prisoner collection and detention and not a branch of the PLA

I have a question, how does China get rid of old military equipment and ammo? The US and NATO can always stir up a conflict and periodically dump them in foreign countries (e.g., Ukraine), but what can China do? Can less developed countries even take as much old military equipment as China has to offer? What about non-country entities like the Wa military? Are there other groups like them which China has ties to?

There are clearly political costs to just donating/selling old equipment to friendly nations (NK, Cambodia, Pakistan, Serbia), but maybe this outweighs the economic and environmental costs of destroying the equipment on Chinese soil.

You realize that US freely sells weapons to Taiwan against China's protests? What political costs should China care about with regards to NK, Pakistan, or Cambodia?

For starters, SK, India and Vietnam wouldn't be too happy. I don't think China minds pissing off US, but China still wants to get along with its neighbours. But I'm not talking about military sales (like the weapons US sells to Taiwan), more like military aid.
