If the US had its hand in this coup, then I am sure they also have a plan for what they will do next.
Actually US can't do anything. Planning isn't the strongest suit of them. From what I've read the coalition was already fragile as all the coalition are.
Trust me, if there is one country I'd like US to coup to remove govt from power, that would be my own country. No one likes that old granny hasina.
US took what there was for taking.
We abstained from voting against Russia too.

China won't do that. Whatever the gov we share strategic interests with Pakistan. However, we should reassess/scale-back some aspects of our relationship with it.

After all, how can you trust someone who just sold out his own country? Once a betrayer, always a betrayer.

Indeed. Their system is far too corrupt to self correct. However, the big question is, do the people have the courage to stand up against these traitors?
If you are economically or militarily dependent on the west, you can't really divorce yourself from their system. Pakistan has moved to China for military which is relatively easy, but the economic dependence on the west is harder to wean off.

Do you really expect the US to allow IK to come back? They have countless of ways to sink his political career, (especially when their agents control Pakistan). I think you underestimate US capabilities
I don't. I simply don't over estimate them. And yes, I think the cricketer guy is coming back. The same reason why Indian one keeps coming back. Populism.
When populism takes over, interference can't do anything. I know. Because US can't do s--t to sink modi's career. Lol they can't sink hasina's career & she isn't even popular.

They could charge him for war crimes and get him indicted at the Hague. I think everybody would agree with that at this point.

Celebrations in Western Capitals have already started
(Netherlands)

"President and islamic extremist
@ImranKhanPTI
is removed from office. Good riddance.
He was a supporter of terror and an enemy of freedom, democracy and India."
I thought IK was more a liberal minded Western-leaning president. When he first assumed office, that's what I heard from news.

I remember reading articles and comments of people having deep concern that he's office will see a worsening of relations with China and capitulating to India.

Now he is an "Islamic extremist" and an "enemy of India"?!? lol

Indeed. He even (idiotically) stalled CPEC for a few years. However the West couldn't tolerate another Erdogan who wanted an independent foreign policy for his country. As such, he had to go

Can't believe how easy and openly the US simply couped IK and no one reacted. No one from justice/political system, military, media, elites, people etc.

Thats revolution material here. How could anyone accept traitors and sellouts to rule his own country? I am not even a Pakistani and my blood is boiling watching this happen

This is a test for the Pakistani people, if even in this case people don't rise up and take action (peaceful or violent) against this treason, then they deserve everything happening.

Ultimately, its the people who make up a country (not vice-versa) and if these same people wont stand up against such blatant treason and foreign interference, it means that the country is essentially dead and buried.
The US definitely had contributions but it is not the only culprit. The country has a chronic problem with governments getting ousted before the end of their terms. I was reading about this topic for a few hours now. It seems IK was having problems with the military too over his Afghanistan policies and appointment of the new intelligence chief. And it seems he became kind of a toxic name in the country's politics because of polarization and his economic policies.

I also found an interesting fact, the new forerunner Shahbaz Sherif was a close friend of Mullah Hasan Akhund, one of the architects of 9/11 and the current PM of Afghanistan.

Possibilities:
The new government will likely be more pro-American than Imran's. But nothing may change either. As far as I read, Imran was very pro-American before getting elected. This new guy is a friend of a 9/11 culprit.
CPEC will likely continue as it is. The opposition and even the military accuse IK of ruining the economy. Tempering with CPEC wouldn't be in the interests of the new government in any case.
China would develop its relations with Afghanistan in a faster way. Afghanistan is destabilizing Pakistan in its current form.
If early elections don't happen the country may have chaotic days. It seems IK is loved by a very good chunk of Pakistan.
